He has already had class suspension for behavior. Somehow I pray to be able to reach the parents and make them see that the child needs counseling, therapy and or what ever it takes to help him behave & sensory issues. His brother is a pica child. And does not eat a variety of foods at all. We take care of the boys every day after school, sick days & vacation days. Their Mother is self centered. I cannot buy try to help the child cope with what is required of him. We are hoping for school intervention, but this should have been addressed 2 years ago. They both do not like to print & color. Do not ride bikes, etc. They need help. Concerned & worried.

I still stuggle every day trying to be strong and not let my grandson live in a world where he would rather be naked than wear clothes, he is now 13 and he still has no problem being naked, which I do, and have had to enforce stick rules about coming out in the living room naked. It is so hard because he is only comfortable in his own skin and I can't imagine having to battle that every single second of every single day.

I may not see it from the parental standpoint but change trains to Dinosaurs and that was me to a t (as I've grown older my interests have expanded but I still tend to have Maniac add to the end of each one). I also agree with the vocabulary (although with my family being mostly doctors and writers that could also explain it). Also I agree whole heartedly with you opinion on platitudes. Some days I feel like smacking the next person who tells me that it's part of God's plan or nothing happens without a reason, because :1 if this is God's plan he has a sadistic streak, 2 I'm not a big fan of anyone whose plans involve watching people suffer, and 3 most people who say that only do so because they are uncomfortable and want to extricate themselves quickly without offending... If my existence makes you uncomfortable then go on and leave but don't spout some platitude to make yourself look innocent. (Sorry I know I rant too much).Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04023779821685706791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7599317265897121292.post-62493499332065941502015-08-11T15:38:07.234-05:002015-08-11T15:38:07.234-05:00Awesome post!
