I know these problems seem minor compared to what so many of you are going through with your kids. I am just so tired of it all. in TX Just a thought, and I have no idea if it will work or not, but the next time he wets his bed, and you ask him to change it, and he refuses, tell him that the consequence of not changing his bed is sleeping in a wet bed. Instead of getting in a power struggle with him (which he obviously is out to win), accept his choice to change his bed or sleep in a wet one, and see how long it takes for him to decide he would rather be dry. Right now, you care about a dry bed more than he does, so somehow you need to get him to care. One other note, please don't get discouraged if this or other behaviour modifications simply don't work. There are some aspects of our children's disorders that don't respond to behaviour modification (reward/punishment/points/charts). In those cases with my daughter (12), I pick the battles that matter to me and let the rest go. As long as Ian is not endangering himself or others, there are a lot of things you can learn to ignore, even though it might seem hard at times or go against your good senses as parents! You're doing a good job , even though you are frustrated. Keep trying, Ian is worth it. Jay in Denver Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 21, 2005 Report Share Posted January 21, 2005 When I was in elementary school, I always went to the regular PE class with the rest of the kids. It wasn't my favorite part of the day because I was bored and seemed to have a talent for being hit in the back of the head with balls, but nobody ever made me feel bad. There was hardly anything I could actually participate in, but the teacher always would have me keeping score, or running the stop watch, or whatever ways he could find for me to be involved. When the other kids were taking a break from the games or whatever, they'd always come chat with me. Our PE class was always split into teams that would play games against each other, and we'd vote on team captains every semester. Many times I was voted as team captain! It didn't even occur to me until years later how strange it was for kids to vote for a captain that couldn't even participate, leaving them short a team member. I wish I could go back and thank that elementary PE teacher for making a great environment that didn't just make me feel involved, but made the other kids feel that I was involved. Then in middle and high school, I just wasn't required to take PE. I'd either take another class or a study hall. ~e Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 21, 2005 Report Share Posted January 21, 2005 I really disliked having a separate gym class in school too. It really made me feel different. They also took me out of normal classes - such as English or math - because the gym teacher had other scheduling conflicts. This only made it worse on me. I was a very excellent student, but being separated from my peers during a routine class to go to a " special gym " singled me out more. However, being in a normal gym class was just as bad because then I'd sit out, or if I did try to participate I wasn't near close to a physical level other kids could respect and I would get teased because I did things " too slow " or " too weak " or " like a baby. " I once went to a county special-olympics program that was televized and I had a lot of fun being there and being involved with all of the other disabled students in my area - but some kids saw it on t.v. and the next few days in school everyone was talking about how they saw me trying to play basketball and I looked weird or couldn't make a basket and a lot of the older boys would mimic my weakness they saw on t.v. when they saw me in the hallway. That has been the only thing in my life I ever felt ashamed of doing - and I know I was just young and I shouldn't have felt that way but kids can be cruel or unknowingly hurt your feelings by singling you out if you already think " I'm different and I don't think it's in a good way. " I would have felt better with that situation if I had learned to stand up for myself and express how proud and blessed I was to have the life I do and the opportunities I was given. Perhaps just talking to Ian about the positive and amazing things that can come out of his being " different " is may help boost his ego. -Kendra > Ians attitude I believe comes from the difference he > is made to be at school, now that he is in reg ed > classes.

In fact I *still* have that problem. If anyone is throwing or bouncing a ball, it inevitably hits me in the head. I tell others my head is " a ball magnet.

Guest guest Posted January 21, 2005 Report Share Posted January 21, 2005 LOL! I can soooo relate. I loved going to basketball games, but I rarely left the gym bumpless! It was so embarrassing, yet hysterically funny at the same time! I second that idea that it must be an off-the-wall symptom of SMA.
