Well Logan started off really good-he was so excited to get on the bus- and didn't cry or get upset at all. So I was on this high horse all day, then he came home. He was all smiles getting off the bus, and I asked him how school was-he said "Good-but I have to tell you something-I got sent up to the office because I was hitting someone". He said the kids were bothering him and he didn't want to talk to them and they kept talking to him so he hit them. His teacher called me too and said at times he was fine, but when she would talk to him he would scream, and he didn't want to interact with the other kids. I told her that this has always been his problem and that he really lags in his social skills. So she said she would have the school counselor observe him tomorrow and then set up some social skills training for him. She will email me every day to let me know how he did that day. He wants to go back tomorrow and was excited to ride the bus again-telling me that he didn't need me to walk him to his bus stop-he could do it all himself!! So this broke my heart again, but I kinda expected it. At least the teacher is recognizing that he needs help and is willing to work with me and him. I just hope this is what he needs-to have someone help him while in the environment that he has the most trouble with. I hate that he feels like everyone is against him and that he is a bad boy-in his words. I talked with him tonight about how to talk to kids and make friends and if he felt uncomfortable or scared to ask his teacher if he could be alone, and she will let him sit in the back of the class for awhile. I don't know what else to do-this is going to be a long rough year!
I bought him some balloons and a gift to show him how proud of him I was for getting through the first day of school!!!
