Guest guest Posted June 26, 2003 Report Share Posted June 26, 2003 Cheryl she is making progress and that in itself is wonderful. You do the best you can. We all know how you feel. You just cant let that feeling consume you. Its ok to cry about it for a day or whatever , however you have to pick yourself up again. I am sure that Hannah will grow up to be a wonderful woman. In about 15-20 years we are all going to be sitting here talking about how broke we are because our little girls are getting married or going to college. LOL ..I think that all of our girls are capapble of anything. Sondra and Kassiane are wonderful examples of not letting Autism stop you from haveing a family or a relationship or working. The mind is a powerful thing and I think that all of our girls are very bright and will grow up to do great things.

Guest guest Posted June 26, 2003 Report Share Posted June 26, 2003 Maybe the change will help your daughter. I know change is something they freak out about, but when Allie went from Early Intervention to Knox Co schools there was an immediate, positive change in her. Perhaps even a smaller class size will help your daughter with sensory issues and stuff. I know Jess's school was very good about trying to put down any sort of teasing or picking. I'm sure it still happened some, but throughout kindergarten never once laughed about anyone in a mean way, only if she thought they were trying to do something funny. I remember one boy peed his pants and I asked her if anyone laughed. She said no, they all just wondered if he would get in trouble for wetting his pants.

Guest guest Posted June 26, 2003 Report Share Posted June 26, 2003 I am hoping and praying a change of school will help.....i know there are some things she just can’t understand.....like explorers of countries etc.......as they are so distant..not there type of things, what would it mean to her, I am sure going to ask for her to repeat year 3, whether we are still here at the start of the year or at the new school, they all agree, she has very selected hearing.......and if only she would take in a bit more.....she just might surprise all of us, but how to get her to do this I really do not know how. Now they have her at school that she sits and does her own work, and the rest of the kids do class work, so she knows she isn’t expected to do all they do.......and I am wondering if it is having a detrimental affect on her, as now she knows.. " I don’t have to do it " attitude, but then from the teachers angle, she has to do some type of work, so some is better than none..sheesh, I just don’t know at the moment. cherylS Re: not happy Maybe the change will help your daughter.

Guest guest Posted June 27, 2003 Report Share Posted June 27, 2003 Leahs report was really good, the only thing that lets her down is maths, but everyone has to have something they are not too good at. I went and talked to Hannah's aide today and she said, sure when you look at her report in regards to other kids it might look bad, but you can;t compare kids to one another, and from Hannah's angle, she has done quite well this year.... she was pleased that Hannah will now attempt to write small stories where she wouldn;t last year..just 3 sentence stories, but at least it is a story, so this has made me see things a bit better, and feel better.....i guess, it will always be there, how you want your child to do good.

Guest guest Posted June 27, 2003 Report Share Posted June 27, 2003 Glad Leah's report went well. Math was,and still is, my worst subject. LOL. I hate math, I dont understand it (outside of the basic stuff).LOL. Hopefully Hannah will have a better school year. All you can do is wait and see. She will come around. 3 sentence stories? I think thats great. Pennie Abby's Mom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
