She misses her old teacher etc. I am glad you are a parent who wants to work WITH the teacher instead of playing the blame game.

Once the area of concern is determined then you all just retraine yourselves as how to deal with it.<BR/><BR/>My Zach has similar issues and we have worked with the counselors and the teachers to help him make better choices and think about what he is doing....but it was a process and sometimes I still wonder if he is really getting it.<BR/><BR/>Hang in there and know that God will use this circumstance in your lives for His glory.....just think of all the moms out there that you will be able to help because God blessed you with this opportunity!<BR/><BR/>Love ya<BR/>JillJill AKA busymomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16960307068449979881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12752423.post-47638869890544466922008-08-28T14:05:00.000-04:002008-08-28T14:05:00.000-04:00I just appreciate all the kinds words.

They are little sponges soaking up whatever information they can. Sadly, some of them either soak up the wrong thing or don't soak up the right thing.<BR/><BR/>YoungHung has his own issues. He's terrible around his parents. He's really a well-behaved boy around everyone else--grandparents, his speech lady, his teacher--but he knows the Hungs are related to him and can't simply send him packing. So, he usually ignores them...unless they can get his attention. Once OneHung gets his attention, the boy is very good. It's just a matter of finding what will always get that short attention span of his.<BR/><BR/>Beating him does nothing. Sending him to his room does nothing. But, he doesn't like to be yelled at. It seems OneHung has two types of yells. One which is just him being mad about something and raising his voice, and the other must have a different pitch or something, because when the boy hears that second one, he knows the shit has hit the fan and it's time to change his ways.<BR/><BR/>The best example is last year when the boy was piss-trained, except he'd still shit in his pants. One day while watching him, OHM had had enough. The boy shit in his pants, and for the entire 45-60 seconds it took to get from outside to the boy's room, the boy got a new one ripped. OneHung lit into that child with every bad word he could think of and it was said loud enough that dead people heard it.<BR/><BR/>The boy hasn't shit in his pants since. <BR/><BR/>Vitt will be the same way. There is simply a missing ingredient right now. Once you find it, he'll be as good as new.OneHungManhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02153343488554848976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12752423.post-56655163573010834012008-08-28T11:52:00.000-04:002008-08-28T11:52:00.000-04:00Girl, Been there, still there.I'm just writing fro...Girl, Been there, still there.<BR/><BR/>I'm just writing from my own experience, you know your son best, know what he needs, but I want to let you know some of what we've been through. <BR/><BR/>I know they may try to insinuate that V may have ADHD (by law they can't diagnose or say they think he does, they really aren't even supposed to mention it to you, but they do). They may suggest you "try" medication. They may act like the world is going to end if you don't. They may even use the aspergers thing on you, which is the new go to. Get books on all these things, plus giftedness from the library and educate yourself on all of them then find a fabulous psych. who will test him in all kinds of areas, but mostly intelligence. My guess is he's gifted, he's four, he has no idea how to channel it all. <BR/><BR/>J tested in K off the charts. He is gifted, but most teachers don't like to see that because they believe the stereotype that gifted kids are the quiet, studious type. This is so far from the truth. <BR/><BR/>Arm yourself with the info. Go in more knowledgeable than them. <BR/><BR/>J still has his issues, but he's in 2nd grade, hasn't moved his discipline card in two weeks and actually won the weekly Christian character award this week. Major strides. He's learning how to channel himself and really, he's just matured. I've always thought that school shouldn't start until eight because I just don't think kids are that ready for it, other than socially, that earlyandriahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07936122859722777328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12752423.post-11224750825040634462008-08-28T10:26:00.000-04:002008-08-28T10:26:00.000-04:00Goodness Miss Hope! I've been where you are with ...Goodness Miss Hope! I've been where you are with my baby. It was such a scary time for us because it seemed at the time that no body saw our child the way we did. Instead of seeing his awesomeness they saw only rotten things. It hurt like the dickens. We had the teachers who cringed when our child came in, and were vocal about it. We've been through a tough road but we've come through it and it's been a lesson in love and understanding. I joke that I understand crazy, but the thing is that I just get those kids that have "issues" because someone HAS to. God's blessed me so much with that.<BR/><BR/>The best piece of advice as I parent who's been there is to be the best advocate for Vitt. Get him the best testing, from the best provider and fight at the school level to get him the accomadations he needs. The biggest thing God has taught me about Remy is that it's not about me, it's about Remy and what's best for him. We've fought medicine back and forth for nearly 5 years but in the end we had to learn that it's not about what makes us comfortable it's what will help Remy to have the best quality of life. For us, having him take medication is a blessing for him so that his light, that God placed in him that just bursts at the seams, shines through. He can be that awesome person that God intended for him to be.<BR/><BR/>Whatever happens, my prayer is that Vitt is able to have his light be bright and focused such that people see him for the wonderful child that God made him to be.<BR/><BR/>Love you girl, and if you need I'm here with an ear.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12752423.post-88925946558145330322008-08-28T10:23:00.000-04:002008-08-28T10:23:00.000-04:00It sounds like you've got the help you need, girlf...It sounds like you've got the help you need, girlfriend.

I pray for the doctor that she will be able to correctly diagnose the problem and that God give her the wisdom to handle the situation as best as it can be for Vitt.
