Janine, we did the notebook back and forth too. Matthew only ever did one "naughty" thing at school that she put in the notebook, but she also told us she handled it and how she handled it. Is the teacher basically complaining about his behavior? I would be a little upset if that was the case! I mean, she's supposed to be an expert in this area, really!

I haven't quite figured out what her reason for mentioning behavior issues is. Nothing she has mentioned suprises us at all. I don't know if she's just making note of it so that later we can see changes in the pattern or what. She hasn't really asked for our input on it, and it doesn't have a whining tone. For instance, yesterdays not was:He used his spoon withoutromtping! He had trouble with the word "no" today. Everytime we told him no, he would grit his teeth and do it again.
So I don't know...if she's just sharing his day..I'd liek a little imput into the best way to correct the behavior in a special needs kid. So many of his sensory issues are physical, sometime I feel the only way to get through to him is to physically smack his hand or whatever. It's effective because he stops. And he never cries. he just sort of processes it and then moves on. But he's a kid that is never going to be motivated by time outs (I would have to physically hold him screaming in the chair) or by taking away toys or priviledges because he'll just move onto the next thing in reach even if it isn't meant to be a toy.

Have you tried strapping him into the stroller or a high chair? That's what I did with matthew when he wouldn't sit for time out.

Maybe she just wants you to know that he is doing the same stuff there that you're seeing at home (unlike my kid who never had one tantrum the whole time he was in early intervention, and he has them at home at least 2 times a day).

Sounds like she is just letting you know what is going on. Some teachers let you know every little thing that happens in school-others only tell what they see as a big deal. Maybe she is just on the side of telling all??

Hannah has a really hard time with time out so I just put her on her bed and shut her door. She will usually get off her bed and go cry by the door. Once in a while she will try to open it and I will go back and close it and tell her she needs to stay in there till she is done crying. Eventually she stops crying and then I go in there and talk to her about it.
