advice needed

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone, I really need your advise in the following matter:

For the past 4 years I have been voluntering to supervise my son

during lunch time recess. I volunteer one hour everyday. My son is

currently in grade 4.

When my son was in grade one, he didn't have any social skills at all,

that's why I decided to ask the school if I could volunteer at lunch time to

supervise just to work on his social skills. When I started working

with my son on his social skills, it was very hard because he didn't want to

be near his peers, as soon as I brought him close to his peers, he would run

away from them but I never gave up and by the end of grade one, he wouldn't

run away from his peers anymore but he wouldn't participate in any playing

for example: If his peers were playing soccer, would stay in the

group but if he saw the ball go near him, he wouldn't kick it.

By the end of grade two, I accomplished that my son would participate in

playing (he would kick the ball). By the end of grade 3, I accomplished

that he would participate with his peers and also he would start talking to

them such as " pass me the ball " . Now is almost the end of the year (grade

4) and is playing much better with his peers and talking to them a

little bit more.

I am a little burn out and I don't think that I can volunteer anymore for

next year. I think that I did what I had to do to help my son with his

social skills at school. Now I am happy that he can participate in games

with his peers, somethings he needs to be reminded to stay on task but other

than that he is fine.

On the other hand, I am worry (guilty) that If I don't go to his school next

year, he could lose some of the things that he has already accomplished. I

will make sure that gets the right person to supervise him (shadow

him) next year.

I would really appreciate if you gave me your advice on what do to.

Thank you very much for your time.
