[quote=Anonymous] I'm responding in case OP isn't a troll (I don't think they are) and I am also not a troll.

My dd, who is 9.5, seems fairly similar to your dd OP. At 7, she had similar struggles with classroom stuff. But, she made 'huge' strides that year (2nd grade) with a patient teacher who had a well structured classroom and behavior expectations. She went from crying at every change in routine, to being able to move seats calmly (teacher purposely moved seats occasionally) and being ok with changes.

So, those charts and expectations ended up being good for her. Unless there is something else in play for your dd (is ADHD ruled out?) she will be able to learn to sit in her seat and things like that-she's a good age for that. It's ok if it takes her some time to do it.

As to what kind of school your dd should go to-I'm not local so can't help there. I'm actually trying to figure it out for my kid! We ended up leaving her former school after 3rd grade because it just wasn't a good fit and wasn't going to be. She's in a private sn school now but 3 weeks in, is bored and it doesn't seem a good fit either. Fun times![/quote]
