Apr. 17, 2008 - Can They Listen?
My little boy spent a morning in the time out room for stealing more than once. My children have issues with this. He goes back into the classroom and steals a big chocolate kiss, puts it in his desk, cuts pieces off with scissors, leans down to eat the pieces until it is almost gone, gets caught and goes back to the time out room. I get called in for a meeting with the principal and school counselor - they don't think their normal methods of discipline are working with my son. NOPE! He is RAD. Over spring break our family went to Camp Attach in Florida. We all got an education in a new and better way to live. Mom and Dad like the new way much better and we are figuring out how to get it functional in our home. The kids are starting to figure out that things will not be the same anymore and they may as well accept the changes. We took the new plan down to the school to see if they would be willing to work with it. My son needs consistency everywhere. He feels insecure if his world and rules change on him. Poor kid has been through too much already in his life.
