I think things are looking up for the behaviors on my 3 littles…
Even though Autumn got a 3 day suspension from Boys & Girls Club earlier this week, Austin wasn’t participating in class or doing classwork, and Adam was refusing to do a task requested by his teacher, and escaped from the classroom..
We are meeting a private counselor at the school. He meets with each child individually, once a week, and I am part of the meetings twice a month. He also meets with all of them together on occasion. They do play therapy, and so far it’s going really well. Basically, he’s trying to gather information about each one, by playing a game within a game, where he asks questions on each turn in the game. He also observes them in classroom, asks the teachers questions, and wants to know what our life is like at home, so he asks me things too.
We are going to get a handle on what makes each kid tick, and hopefully bring out their best qualities, so they can really shine as individuals.
School is tough, there is no doubt about it. We have to have great support to be successful. I’m so thankful for the teachers, staff, counselors, Boys and Girls Club staff, and family who is there for me on this journey with hills and valleys. I couldn’t do this without them.
All in a Day
