[quote=Anonymous]Oh, I am so sorry, that feeling is the worst for both you and your child. I have had on and off years where I dread the end of the day when I get to hear all of the bad reports.

I've read all of the replies and I am not going to add you must do this or you must never do that-because ultimately you have to do what works for you and your child.

When we hit this in first grade I contacted the principal and the head of special education in our school. They put in place the timeline for evaluations and possibly an IEP. In the meantime, the special ed teacher went and watched my DC and she offered him ways to make him more comfortable in his environment (a chair pad, a theraband around his chair legs, and pencil grips), she talked with him and learned about what made him anxious. She talked with me and told me that behavior problems are a symptom of a problem in the environment, not of a bad kid. We evaluated and worked and reevaluated and worked.

All of the effort made things better, not perfect, but better. We had better and worse years and better and worse classes. The strategies we put in place carried with him to middle school through his IEP...hopefully soon I'll be able to tell you how the transition has gone.

I guess I am saying, you are doing a great job, the time, effort, and thought you are putting into this will benefit your child and you will not always feel this way.[/quote]
