i will not be working with the county, no way!!!!!!!
i work for depatment of mental health!!!
but i did hire a therapist who came to my house twice a week for a year
i believe that mental health centers can do so much harm to children
but you have to remember, i also had the same problems when i was little
and my parents did opt to medicate me, and send me to shrinks
not much help...................
eventual i grew out of my learning issues,
i have taken my son to several professionals
and his old school diagnosed him with something
the therapist diagnosed him with something
and the shrink had her opinion
test are such a waste of time in my opinion, not very acurate, and what about these doctors who medicate children after meeting with them one time
thats how it works!!!
all different.......
we had a better day today, both boys finished their work and we went to the park and tennis lessons
and now we are off to a meeting, i hope someone is there for the childcare..........

Hey hon -- I think the things you are feeling are perfectally normal...special needs children are such a  challenge. I am taking for granted that you have had all the necessary test done and you know what your working with and are learning how he learns best. Also working with the county to get him the extra help he needs. Hang in there sometimes things ebb and flo and right when you think you've done all you can... you'll get another burst of energy....a renewed spirit of determation....Because thats what GOOD mothers do.And I know that you are a good mother.Apply the principles that you know best ..and remember there is a special God for children You are in my prayers...love you..Debra

ohh, i am so sorry to hear that. i have a 10 yr old little girl that me and my husband adoptied, she was expose to drugs and other things while her mother was carring her. so he has major anger problems, also she HATES school, mornings are Crazy. she will physically fight me. homework was a battle. so i asked my younger sister to tutor her 3 times a week, and since she has been working with her shes making the ab honor roll. also read up on there personal issues normally they tell you how to help them. also the state offers support to parents with kids that are diffacult. a anger management lady comes out two times a week to work with her. Pray about it, and i will pray for u to.  keep your head up.

lov,
kalie

thank you so much, i feel so helpless right now
we started homeschooling this year, my oldest has several learing disibilities, the public school system had an individual education plan for him, but they did not follow through with it
his assignments were to be given  verbal ,,,,,, most days they sent all his work home because the teacher did not have time to work with him
so right now this is all new to me, its a new way to live, just like recovery, what is so hard it finding the right curriculim for my 9 yr old
my first grader is doing well, but my 4th grader has sucj a hard time in school, he has emotional melt downs when we do math and writting assignments, all this is affecting his self esteem
he was in special ed., and some of the other students would call him retardo, now,,at home
when he gets frustrated,, he says "i am a retard, you hate me!!?
i do not regret pulling him out of school, i just wish i was better at this
its all new, i am sure it will get easier
we are a member of a co-op class and two social groups, none of them know i am an addict, and that life is hard enough, without the added stress, i seem to be having a much harded time than the other moms.....great now my self-esteem is like my sons
i guess we cannot compare ourseves or our children to others
