Cue today- 9:25am phone call from the dean telling me that B was in his office for spitting. He told me B would not talk to him and tell him what was doing on. He asked if I wanted to talk to him and I told him sure but he isn't a phone talker. He held the phone up and I told B that he was the boss and he needs to talk to him. Then I started to ask if he was scared and I could hear his fast breathing. (broke my heart as I knew he was terrified) The dean told me it was a warning this time. Siiigh. I wanted to run right out of work to get him but I knew that he needed to experience the fear and realize there are consequences for his actions. I got out of work early and picked up some feeder fish for the reptiles and then the boys. When I got to the school the after school care supervisor pulled me aside to tell me that B wasn't listening or following directions and that if he doesn't start that he will not be able to stay in the program. She recommend I speak to guidance about getting him tested for something. Well $%&@! Had the sit down talk with him which of course I don't know how much he will retain. Siiigh. After he did his homework and sat around bored for a while (no electronics or anything for punishment) I had him do this.
Hubby is at the school watching a volleyball game so it is just me and the kids.
oh gosh. I'm so sorry. I'd call your pediatrician and see if he has any specialists he might refer you to, although the school should also. Better to test and find it's just 'tude', than wait.... :)
ReplyDeleteTy Gwen. I have a email in to the teacher right now to see where we go from here.
DeleteGood luck. Hopefully the testing will help you figure out a direction.
ReplyDeleteTy I have a email out to the teacher now so we will see what she suggests.
DeleteI'm sorry that you are dealing with this. I hope that the testing will help you narrow down what his strengths are and what tools he needs to succeed.
