Re: For -- and also looking for confidence ideas myself..

April 9, 2008

I've heard good things about Montessori schools.??

I'm so sorry to hear that. Remind him that even though they don't want to play

with him, he is special and your favorite little person. And that there will

always be people that don't want to play, but it doesn't mean there is something

the matter with him. Remind him that everyone is different in some way, and

that is a good thing!! Just to keep trying, sweet boy! (hugs to both of you

!!)

I feel it with you. Talk about ripping your heart out!

While we are on the subject... I want to learn as much as I can to instill

confidence so that when my little one is rejected, she won't see it as such and

will still feel special.

Please anyone with experience in that area and ideas... POST SO I CAN LEARN

MORE BEFORE WE GET THERE. Even if she is talking well, it is inevitable, and I

see confidence/self worth as 100 times more important than talking like everyone

else... so help me out if you can!

Good luck to you, !

Subject: [ ] what kind of school for a 6 year old apraxia boy

Date: Wednesday, April 9, 2008, 12:59 PM

last year i had my 6 year old apraxia boy in a private kindergarten,

this year he is in a catholic school. yesterday when i went to pick

him up he was standing in the school yard all alone all of the other

kids were playing around him. i asked him why he wasan't playing with

the other children and he told me that no one wanted to be his friend.

it broke my heart. he is a sweet, cordial guy but can be shy if the

children are bullies or agressive. i need a proper placement for him

and i don't know where to begin. .
