She was thrilled she beat Jack at picture lotto she never finished a game before, I don't really know what made the difference other than the changes in her diet that I have changed in the last few months that I am really seeing now.

What was it that made the difference for her?

What a fantastic achievement - well done - I bet she is so pleased with her achievement.

I think with some suport from my sons teacher that Katie's teacher is going to do the questionaire. My son has some behavoural problems but not as extreame as Katie's, he has an IEP in place which is due for review on Monday which is when I am going to do the questionaire with his teacher. He has trouble managing his 'moods' (anger) he also has some self esteme problems which he struggles with, last year he did something called time to talk which was very good and he got alot out of.

I want to do the programme with Jack as well as Katie as it seems a waste of effort if I do the programme with Katie and it might help Jack as well.

That is great well done! this is a huge hurdle to get over with the teacher - often they just feel out of their depth - if you think about it - they are the professional on the line and thier job is to best support your child and - they don't know how to do that? no one knows your child as well as you do - and you are more of an expert than she is - she is going to be a bit defensive.

The questionnaire is a great place to build that bridge - it looks at all kinds of things that your child will do at school that you don't know about (they are always 2 totally different people at home to school - lol!) and it's a great place for you to educate the teacher in a gentle way as to the nature of this condition and to the individuality of it for each child - the info you have to give her will be soooo helpful!

Also from your daughter's point of view once you have set some SMART targets (with teacher) there is consistency in expectation of behaviours between home and school and a notebook can go back and forward with the reward charts in which we use when we've defined the desirable / undesirable behaviours and targets- then we get your daughter in on it all - only focusing on the postive - It is such a great structure to then start the programme and measure the progress ..

I know this was a tricky start for you both but what great things can come out of it, in terms of support for her. I am so excited for you both!!!

Now you mention your son - is there a behavioural issue there?

Because she didn't know any better and needed you and your beautiful child to show her the way - well done you guys!!!

Are you now able to do the questionnaire with her?

I hope this is true, I just wish that her teacher would put a little thought into the situation. I work in a pre-school we would never gve any child sweets and we do not give them any food without checking the allergies chart on the wall even foods that we give everyday to make sure, why can they not do the same thing at school, it is so simple.

The great thing that can come out of all this is that you educate this person and then they will ahve so much more understanding with other cilldren who find themsleves in her class.

What a wondeful opprotunity for you to take out understanding into this condition which your beautiful daughter has taught you!

Hi Cherise - thanks for joining our site - what do you think of it and what can we do to make it helpful for you and your son? Lin

Hi Lin,

I haven't had chance to explore the site in-depth, but like what I've reviewed. As I become more familiar with the information I'll have more comments.

However, I can state unequivocally that I am impressed with the amount of information that you have consolidated on this site.

Thank you,

Cherise

P.S. I created a remedy for my son using Clemantis, Holly, Elm, Vine, Rock Water, Chestnut bud, and Rescue Remedy. Our most urgent challenge is his tendency to run and kick people indiscriminately.
