He was distracted, high energy, disobedient, sometimes violent and constantly being misdiagnosed by people he came into contact with as being ADHD. I would not accept this because we had these windows of magical behaviour where he would sit and do puzzles for twenty minutes or just be beautifully behaved. One gymbaroo class where he spent the entire class running around the perimeter I asked the teacher if this was behaviour she encountered much with three year olds. She told me that at three he should be able to follow the class sometimes and I might want to have a look at diet. I told here we tried sugar, colour additives and everything we could think of. That's when she introduced me to my son's saving grace, a book called 'Fed Up' which is all about amine and salicylate intolerence and behavioural consequences. This may not be the solution for you and at the time I had no idea if it would work for us but I was willing to try anything. We now follow the strict RPAH salicylate allergy diet and he is perfectly three, he is rowdy and confident and slotting in to a class environment beautifully. I don't know if this will suite you or your BB but I wanted to share with you just in case.little-ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03260991084540577453noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8707333186803278314.post-3851433087843780262011-11-05T10:04:18.472-04:002011-11-05T10:04:18.472-04:00Yes, it will be better, Heather. Wow, if public sc...Yes, it will be better, Heather. Wow, if public school had the option of not wanting behavior-challenged children to come back, half our schools would be emptied. I cannot imagine why the teacher did not take the proper steps to help BB get on track or least to keep y'all from feeling blind-sided. <br /><br />I had no idea that this was what happened. Even when I came by to see BG (baby G), I just assumed you thought homeschooling was best for BB. I haven't been following my blogs too frequently until I decided I needed to join the blog-o-sphere. I am so sorry you had to go through this.Grahamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09384895311409271443noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8707333186803278314.post-12735460458393826602011-10-14T21:45:25.833-04:002011-10-14T21:45:25.833-04:00Can I "Like" the previous comment?

Great encouragement from Kristin.<br /><br />The online school can be a wonderful way to get your feet wet with home schooling, especially with a new baby in the house! <br /><br />Thanks for sharing.Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11984051442829190188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8707333186803278314.post-74451082299292252462011-09-26T11:30:17.962-04:002011-09-26T11:30:17.962-04:00Oh, Heather!

God must have a plan in mind and He will guide you through. And who cares if you are doing school through the state and not some creative curriculum?! Survival is important right now. Really, really important, and if this is the way to survive, then embrace that. Praying for you!!Kristinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17152562871467319771noreply@blogger.com
