my CF character was taking time off while my DH was in the hospital!
head task-mistress of the mansion!! Too funny!
this was so funny...but you had to be there i guess:
Stephen was looking for a toy of his, and i told him i saw it last in the dinning room. well it was 7pm, and the light was off and it was dark in there. He said "mommy, this is how you look for something in the dark (and he put his hands around his eyes--like binoculars)! hehehe!
then Jake said oh! what's that?! and Stephen said "comeon Jake...this is how you see in the dark!"
and they both proceeded into the dinning room with their hands around their eyes!! i cracked up!
thanks CW!!Wow. I really don't have a good suggestion for that. School made me nervous sometimes too; and I know my son loathes it--and for the most part, he's homeschooled!
Anyway, just wanted to drop in and wish you a good day as well!!
Happy Thursday ladies!
I would ask him what it is that makes him nervous and get in touch with his teachers to see if anything is going on out of the ordinary. How old is your son? Has he seen a specialist yet? Been tested at all?SAHMs!
Hope everyone is well today.
My son Nick had a hard time getting ready for school today. He said school made him "nervous."
I think his PDD is starting to show through now.
Any suggestions?

for you! I know it can be nerve-wracking, worrying about the kiddos.
Ah, ok. I see now. My son was diagnosed with autism, one of the disorders that branches off of PDD. Good to hear he's getting early intervention! It could be just a phase, too. Sometimes kids get anxious over minor things and then suddenly get over it.thanks Lena! Nick is 5yrs old and in Kindegarten. It's an all day K. There is a teacher, an aide, and a student teacher in his classroom. And he takes speech therapy 3x/wk. He saw a specialist when he was 4yrs old, and the specialist did not seem to think Nick had any disorder along the autism spectrum, or asberger's. He did say there may some attention issues, but not ADD or ADHD. These "attention issues" were directly related to his age. Meaning Nick was age-appropriate in his attention span.
So Nick was not diagnosed with anything. However, his speech teacher at the time was concerned he may have PDD (pervasive developmental disorder). And recommended Nick continue with speech in Kindegarten.
As background, Nick was a late talker and started taking speech therapy at 2 1/2 yrs old. He also had some social issues, which he has outgrown now.
I keep a journal with Nick's teacher so we can communicate to each other about Nick's days/nights. There has been nothing out of the ordinary. So, I'm at a loss. I hate that Nick feels anxious about going to school. I did too. Perhaps it's just a personality trait, and nothing to be concerned about. who knows.
Wow your kid sounds like seth, we thought he had hearing problems, but he can hear fine he is just stuborn lol. But he was a late talker, and is 4yrs old and is still having ahard time talking, he has a bad lisp.You never really know when they are smaller.
My second son talked late, too, and had a lisp, but even though he still has a slight lisp, he is in all advanced (and GATE) classes in middle school.
I was even worried he had hearing and/or vision problems when he was two. I had him tested and retested.
I am hoping that is what it is. that he will soon "get over it."Ah, ok. I see now. My son was diagnosed with autism, one of the disorders that branches off of PDD.

good for you for putting the law down, gracefully!
I am hoping that is what it is. that he will soon "get over it."
This morning he said "I'm afraid to go to school."
But then again, once he's at the bus stop, he's fine.
Last night he said "i'm afraid to eat dinner."
I think he has a problem with verbally expressing himself.
Maybe he cannot find the words in his head to get them out when he wants to.
yup...that's Nick alright!Your Nick sounds a lot like my Vanessa. She has infinite knowledge about what she is interested in, but when you try to tell her about what you need her to do, she suddenly does not understand. And she gets stuck on a word or phrase that sometimes she does not get the complete meaning on.
