morning all , no wine for me last night either but the way i feel i could do with some now !!!
jay went to school till 1pm yesterday he wouldnt stay any longer but that was abit of an improvement an extra hour than what he has been doing .
but unfortunatly it didnt go with out a glitch , some girl called jay a b*** ,so the clever sod he is asked her if she new what it meant she didnt so he told her and her friend to go look it up in the dictionary the friend didnt like this so she went and got this boy who jays had probs with before and he grabbed jay by the throat and spat in his face . so jay retaliated back , now jay will have a detention today .
well this morning it was cory he refused to get out of bed i had to go get him up and dreag him down the stairs . when he was at the bottom he was mad so he started hitting me well punching me then refused to get dressed so i rang his dad and put him on loud speaker , cory covered his ears so i moved 1 of his hand away he went on to head but me in the knee , my frends hubby came up to watch the babys for me once cory finally got dressed not after being very rude and swearing at me , got him to school where he hit me again hes now in the head masters office , was just about to leave school and jay came running out , so had to go try and calm him down and eventually left him with the head as well all in all a bad start to the day .
hope everyones had a better morning than me lol vick xxx

morning, hows your head lol. No wine for me last night, I drank a whole bottle of red the night before (never again as the old saying goes). Never makes you feel better though does it, just makes you think about things more and feel sorry for yourself lol.
J had had a good day at school yesterday, my mood really affects him. I made an effort to be calm with him yesterday and he had a good day. easier said than done sometimes though.
Off to my mums with dd after pre school, not much else going on today. Have a good day everyone x
26/11/08 21:46
lol can I have the bottle? josh has just went to sleep after screamin for ages ! we have one hot water bottle in the house and his brother has a cold so I gave him it in bed, of course josh then wanted it and proceded to scream the house down! apparently hes freezing and going to die because of me lol ah well he screamed himself to sleep! it always happens, you say the kids are behaving then they play up! lol xxx

hi everyone, Joshs mum your child sounds very similar to my son, it can be very hard. He has a full statement, which means he has one to one support all day at school which im really grateful for as i cant imagine how he would be without that.
Vicky is right though, its easier in some areas than others, fingers crossed that you get all the support for your son that he needs.
speak soon

hi my son is 9 and has a diagnosis of adhd and aspergers syndrome .
it does take a while to get assesed it was over a year before my son got seen by a pead . but then it depends on what part of the country you live in , were in devon so slower down here lol .
sounds like your sons school is already offering support which is great and there recongnising there is need for this ....
once you get a diagnocis (sp) and the school have tried all there resorses then the next step would be apply for a statement of special needs , these are hard to get and even if the school apply it doesnt allways mean they will give your ds one , hope im making some sence ,
my son got diagnosed at 5 he attends a mainstream school and has no help and support at all .
not every school is the same ......
welcome to the thread both of you vick xxx

oh and the school nurse is going to come out and talk to me about stratagies for managing his behaviour, I have a 3 year old too and I cant leave them alone together for 2 minutes, josh will push him or hit him the minute Im gone so I dont get a minutes peace! makes me feel like a bad mum though that I need someone to tell me how to deal with him
26/11/08 10:59
thanks for replying, josh is the same with 1to1, he can be a bit better but isnt great, hes in primary2 and is so inconsistant, one day he can do any work asked of him and the next nothing! he was getting physio for dyspraxia to help his clumbsyness but doesnt realise social skills like not sitting in peoples lap whilst talking to them lol the school have a plan in place like they only give him one instruction at a time and if giving an instruction to his group will say 'can josh and his red group do....' its just so frustrating having to wait isnt it? josh can do all of the work but needs things explained to him in a different way, its hard to describe, he wont get something for weeks and weeks then you find the right way to explain it and he gets it straight away. I just wish someone would tell us what we can do to help him, its so frustrating

ur son sounds very similar to mine although hes nearly 4 1/2 now.
matthew is very clever for age, been told he way above average in his class. the things u mentioned sounds so like matthew, hes concentration is terrible, doesnt sit still, has issues with noises, covers his ears alot, doesnt follow instrcutions, poor motor skills. we r yet to see anyone abotu him, last week we saw his paed at the hosp who has referred him to a community paed, so r now waiting. matthew also is better with 1.1 but not perfect. has his teacher drawn up a plan for him, no idea what its called as im still learning but the schoool SENCO have a plan and if it fails then tehy have further steps to get help but may be wrong this is what i have been told.
sorry not much help but understand totally what ur going through there is so much more to matthew than what i have writeen and we have had concerns for years
hugs xx
26/11/08 10:25
sorry, I hope you are all well btw! I am new here and just have loads of questions and no1 2 ask them x
26/11/08 10:24
hey can I ask you all a question? lol well Im going to ask anyway, silly question!
anyway, my son is almost 6 and has been having alot of difficulties at school, he has no spacial awareness, always bumping into the other kids etc, he cant concentrate at a table so has to sit on his own and wont sit still. The teacher told me he learns in a 'different' way from the other kids, what ever that means! and that he has visual and audio problems in crowds (as far as their assessments can tell, obviously shes not a doctor) anyway we were refered to a pead then a psychologist, we havent seen anyone since april, is it normal for things to take this long? just I think hes struggling at school and he needs alot of 1 to 1 which he often isnt getting, if he was diagnosed would it make it easier for this to be put in place? does it sound like he might have adhd? someone said to me aspergers as he tends to fixate on things and never shut up about them lol and he has HUGE tantrums, can be violent.. sorry this is long and I have loads of questions lol
thanks
my names cara btw! my 2 r in bed, they were really good tonight, if a bit hypo as my dp was pretending to throw them down the stairs!! Ill be up til about 1 lol I always am no matter how tired I am. \\\]
Im glad ur boilers fixed, its been freezing eh? we have really high celings so my house is never toasty warm.. plus I have the cold lol wen it was snowing last sat, me and dp had been out to the pub, I thought it would be a great idea to go out in bare feet and eat snow (yeah Im weird lol ) xxx
