DYK two ladies both said take the hard stance - I guess I'll try it.
Where's the crying, horribly upset, can't do this Sheyot anymore icon???
I found out at preschool today - because I asked prodding questions, that Abigail was sent to the Director's office Thursday and again today.
She was in a full on tantrum, kicking, screaming, and throwing herself around on Thursday apparently. (A whole other post on why they didn't TELL me, but I took care of that today anyway.)
Anywho, she's been telling her teacher when asked to clean up, No! I'm busy. Or you do it yourself. She's been fighting, sassing and not listening. And then when Miss Desiree tries to get her to clean up - she screams, hollers, kicks and fights. (changing activities is something we had well under control and now we're back to square one with one bad activity change can literally ruin the entire day.)
However, her teacher reports that she does amazing during craft time and is one of the only ones who can already write her name (they practice their name each day).
DYK so when they said take the hard stance I asked them this:
What exactly is a hardstance? LOL What I say goes - the first time and every time? The second she steps out of line there is a consequence? Same consequence every time?
So, when she starts throwing, kicking, screaming, sassing
DYK we're not freaks or anything but Deklans' room is off ours and he was talking in his sleep so loudly and erratically we were not getting good nights sleep

DYK the motor planning problems do give her issues with speech - coordinating what she wants to say with her mouth muscles to get it said -
DYK Deklan is our chatterbox.
