It's January. The bewitching month for Miss Cait in particular. She dive bombs between now and May every darn year.
How do I know it is January? The innudation of emails from her teacher in the past 1 1/2 weeks. Crying in band, crying in speech, homework not turned in, "lying", not listening, Loss of "Fun Friday", "Friday school", "Strikes".
And how much are they helping? So far now a whole heck of a lot.
Darn January.

What do we have to do to get Cait's school to help!?! I wish I could come down there and shake some sence into them. As you know Kyle is dive bombing too but at least his team is working their butts off to try and help. I wish I had some magic words to make it all better.
Sending you cyber wine and what ever will make Cait feel better. Her own real life neo-pet maybe.

LOL, she would love her own real life neo-pet. It is about the only pet we don't have. You know she has a neo-pet she created for her list named "autism". She has like 5 of them and that one was her first I think. I just thought of it the other day because I found a picture of "her".
Actually Cait is complaining of a sore-throat since yesterday. She has no fever, it isn't red but I am thinking of giving her a mental health day anyway. Sometimes that is all she needs.
Can you imagine I am considering putting Mike in this program? Cait is miss easy going for the most part (Ok easy going with a HUGE side of the stubborn sticky thinking) but no behavior problems. Her worst ever at school is shutting down and refusing to do something because she gets stuck. So far this week she has cried 2 times in school. If they can't handle Cait what on earth are they going to do with Mike. But I already have had comments about how he is such a "conscientious (sp?) student". Try Rigid. Thing is because he is remember to do all his work to a point of obsession which turns into meltdown teachers love him. Cait drives them batty because she won't remember something 30 seconds after you told her.
Argh.

Cait can join Josh in their own special room. I swear if that girl were jewish(heck even if she wasn't) we should really start thinking about a marital contract for the 2 of them. January this year seemed to be Josh's well bad month. Josh cycles too. And is basically accusessed of lying, being well defiant in his own special way etc.
I know you read my lovely posting a couple of weeks ago about trying to help the kid who won't help themselves.
And you said sometimes we just have to let them fail and then have to just deal with the consequenses of their choices.
I know right now I am tryig to think about trying Josh on Strattera and use it with the Focalin until it builds up. Supposedly it can help with the anxitey that Josh tends to get which led to his hair plucking. But I am still on the fence.
But also living through Josh also taught me for next year not to plan his Bar Miztvah on his 13th birthday in Jan, In fact we have decided to see if we can get a date in May when school here is just about over, no standarized tests etc.
I think we sometimes have to look at what events are going on at the time of the "cycles"
I know Jan for Josh is a stress. Right aftetr the biggie holidays, he spent a few weekends away from home with my inlaws and scouts through that month. Plus it is his birthday month. And I swear in its own way it must freak him out or make him anxious.
What is different in Cait's life during those months?
Good luck
