My kid got kicked out of Vacation Bible School!

Date sort Score sort
My younger brother was a terror when he was little. He drove us all nuts. We did eventually get tested, and my brother had ADHD. I had ADD, but I wasn't a spaz like he was. This was also back when very little was known about ADHD, and ritilan was experimental. Our mother refused to medicate him thank god. She wasn't a nice woman, but at least she had some common sense when it came to those matters.

My brother was a handful, but we learned how to deal with his outbursts when they happened, and a lot of the times what may be observed today as ADHD was just him being a kid. He turned out to be a great guy with many talents, and just fun to be around.

When I had my daughter, I thought, oh boy, I hope she is not a spaz like my brother was, but she turned out to be a very laid back kid. I was always complimented by her daycare, and teachers on how well behaved, and intelligent she was for her age. Even as a baby she was quiet. I would take her camping with me, and folks in the campsite next to us were surprised how quiet and happy she was at 9 months old

I just figured I got spoiled and lucky with her because some of my friends kids were the devil compared to her

That is what I was thinking, this is a CHURCH and they turned a little boy away because he chattered? Give me a break . . .I HOPE you did thank them for their kindly God-loving forgiving attitude. You don't have to be Mother Theresa to work with a kid!!! I do plenty of helping at BS's, church and the like and you always have a little stinker in there that makes good material for a book later in life!!!
 
Yes and 98% of the time that is how it is for us! Our kids are "the good ones" and I do feel blessed because they are good but still have personalities.

I really think Danno will be ready next year, and I am going to use this opportunity to teach all about consequences. Just saying "sorry" doesnt mean that you still get to do what you were doing when you got into trouble to begin with!
 
Oh I sent a note with Lars this morning that Danno will not be attending the rest of the week and that I expect them to call me personally, not go thru my daycare provider, to tellme specifically what the issue was. I did "thank" them and said "I do hope that Lars wont be too much for you to handle as well"
 
Disclamer , I didnt read all of the posts.

Just wanted to say if it was me I would be a little perturbed about things but I also have a lil guy that just turned 4 in april , as much as I love him and as much as I can honstly say that compared to about 90% of the kids in his preschool class last year he is a saint , I know he can be to much for people he is busy and has a ton of energy , he dosnt like to sit still , he isnt mean or rude or destructive but he NEEDS to be up moveing and exploreing his world and that means he isnt compatible with something like VBS where they want everything to be just so and they want the kids to go from point a to b to c to d in a calm orderly fasion and be modle little angles .

My church is awsome everything they do for k-5th grade they usually have a toddler version of so they can run amoke and be themselves and still possibly learn soemthing
 
The purpose of VBS is to teach the children about the Lord and the Bible - patience being one of them. Our VBS has kids as young as 1 year old. That they can't handle him should not be your problem!! I personally find that rude.
 
I guess the only thing I found offensive was that the coordinator (who is our neighbor/mechanic's wife) wouldnt call me about it even when my day care provider told her that she was not comfortable telling me and thought that it'd be appropriate for the coordinator to call me. I am not scary! I am 24, I am younger than this woman's daughter so I dont know what her deal is!
 
Thats why I sent a note with my older son today saying I expect a phone call to explain what he was doing specifically. No call yet, Lars prolly forgot to hand it over
