Need help with goal writing

[Guest guest]

My son has very negative perceptions of events that happen in his day to day

life. He comes home and re-tells a lot of interactions that have a negative

slant. Many days, he's not talkative and he doesn't share much. I'm not sure if

the events are as bad as he claims or if he colors them that way. At home and at

school are different, so hard to compare them. (home life is more fun for him)

At school, he can have some good events happen in his day, but for the most part

he'll fixate and only elaborate on the bad ones--however big or small. BUT, he

does have the ability to talk about fun stuff, too. (Overall, my son would tell

you he doesnt' like school. Doesnt' like homework, just wants to stay home and

play on the computer.)

How can a goal be written to address my son's negative inference/perception of

events? The school wants to use this goal: Child will discuss perceptions of

peer interaction with adult help.

It's soooo lame and allows the school to not really address the problem. Is

there a way to address my son's negative take on situations in his day at school

in a goal?
