I have been pondering this for several months now. This is a way for all of us to help each other out and have the information available for the long term. I call it “Ask the Parents.” It’s like a forum without the scrolling or trolls.
The form below is for your questions. You can be completely anonymous or I will link to your site, it’s your call. Your question will be posted on the site, then the next week I will post reader’s and writers replies for you. I hope to pull in behavior and medical experts on occasion, too.
This week’s question is from Boba Fett’s Mom.
My son has PDD-NOS. He got in a fight the first day of school! I can’t spend another year picking him up from school early because he has been suspended. He has an IEP and is in a behavioral mod class. I am worried that this is going to be another bad ear. Last year was one frustration after another. The school’s first response was send them home for fighting. Hello, this is a class for kid’s on behavior plans!
I have told them over and over again that it is because the boys (of course the class is all boys) set each other off in a very predictable way. The same kids get in the same types of arguments every week that end in physical altercations. We have a new teacher and are in a new building this year.
How can I prepare myself in case we enter the cycle of fighting and suspensions again?
