MAYBE BORING TO SOME...
NO WAY ....... I have had a shocking time with the LM lately....SHOCKING...
I have been self doubting myself as a mother....
What the #%&* has gone wrong?
LM has been getting "blue slips" from school and if you get 4 blue slips you get a detention....
Well we have had 2 detention's... and it is only term 1.That's 8 blue slips.....
He got a blue slip for pushing another child .......We since have found out that this was partly Kevin's fault as Kev told him if someone pushes or hits him do it back so you won't get bullied.
So when the kid pushed him LM pushed back but the teacher didn't see the other child just LM pushing him......
So blue slip......
But this has happened more than once........we have had a talk about it and he says sorry but it is like blah blah blah.....
Then he got a blue slip for swearing.....
Now I swear as does Kev.I am trying to change but gee it is hard......Anyway blue slip.......
His teacher has made a FINISHED BOX which she wrote on a piece of paper "NO MORE SWEARING"or words to that effect.LM had to sign it to say he wouldn't swear anymore She explained it was like a grown up contract and he had to stick to it.
He told her he would and she said OK then we will put it in the finish box and no more swearing........
We all (family ) have been so excited that there has been no more blue slips for almost 2 weeks....
YEAH YEAH YEAH....
Then yesterday I went to the heart clinic for a visit (crap) then off for blood tests and a chest xrays (crap ) so by the time all that was done it was time to pick LM up.
Now Kev had warned me that if the kids were naughty they were last to leave the room...So as I stood there waiting for LM to hurry up and emerge I noticed he was coming out very slowly at the BACK.......please no not today.....
THE VERY BACK,YOU CANT GET.. FURTHER BACK.........
His Teacher asked if she could talk to me...LM just looked at me goofy and walked over to Kev. Me I walked over kinda my head down (I felt like I was going to get in trouble ME !!!!!)She smiled I smiled..OK our guns are drawn......
Long story short is LM does his works quite well...
But he calls out the answers without given others a chance.He has no social skills.Please no more not today.I just don't want to hear it,anyway we are going to see the school consular.and she can have a talk with him and then let us know as to what we should do...like I said is it my fault...I know that me getting sick and going to hospital has left damage to him.....and me being in my room sick and not being able to participate in family outings and such.I try I really try.I have bought school maths activity books and we do these.I play games with his sight words and much more.
Tell me what to do.HELP.....he is such a sweetie and I love him so but I just want to know how to settle him in school how to just do his work and yeah be settled.
I spoke to Kerry today saying the above ....She was a different baby to what he is.She was quiet and did as she was told.....The LM- no chance he would be up checking it out talking non stop and Kerry said well that's it mum he is a different kid to her and just take it slowly..
Please if you have any suggestions please leave it in the comments.All answer are welcomed...
Looks so sweet dosn't he.
He is very cute. Just hang in there sunshine & he is only 5 so it will get better for you.(I hope) xxx
ReplyDeleteDO NOT BLAME YOURSELF. You are a good mother & kev is a good father. LM is a handful but you have provided him with a stable, loving family which will help him find his way thru this life.
ReplyDeleteNo social skills?! Are they kidding?? Aidan is an incredibly social kid. He communicates well and frequently!
ReplyDeleteBeing put in a classroom with a bunch of other kids and expected to know the answer but not tell the answer unless the teacher happens to ask him... that's unnatural and confusing to a young child. He will learn what they expect. Give it time and don't beat yourself up.
YOU ARE A FABULOUS MOTHER.
