Last year in pre-K4 TRex was socially isolated. I could tell that he was sad about it because
he would come home and cry about it (and as his mom this breaks my heart). I
think the social isolation was in part due to the fact that he was “different”
from his classmates. He only went half
days. He got special attention,
etc. The other part was also due to the
speech issues. I am hoping to help this
pattern not repeat this year. I was
concerned because one of the students who he had said “doesn’t like him” was in
his class this year when we were looking at the roster. However, I have asked him this week if said
classmate is being nice to him and he had so yes. TRex is becoming very willing to talk about
his feelings with me so I will continue to ask and hopefully this situation
will resolve and we can move past it.
I saw his teacher on friday at release and she said she still has to direct him to start activities but that once he gets started he is ok (I hope I am not projected my wishes upon how I interpret what she said). So that is part of what we will be working on for the coming weeks.
With school on-going, TRex's training sessions are in the evening during the week. I am trying to schedule one of the two weekly sessions on Saturday morning. He was very tired Wednesday with school, neurofeedback, and reciting his memory verses at church. We skipped karate that night. I think we will not go to karate on Wednesdays while he has training.
