Good morning DMC, I love the way your flowers always look...keep it up!
Hi Debby, thank you!
Good morning, DMC.
It is isn't it? I have a son who is adhd, and I thought raising him was rough, but we never considered it a disability. He behaved as well as other kids his age, he just required extra activity and mental stimulation.
The only special needs child that I can remember in my daughter's class was a little girl with down syndrome. I was proud that my daughter befriended her and invited her to outings. She had a tutor but other than that, she was treated the same as the other kids in school.
I don't know when all these special needs problems came up but it does seem like they're disproportionate to the general population now. I think a lack of discipline at home is a big part of the problem. My grandson, who is severely autistic, has been repeatedly told he is special and that his anger issues are normal. He has a lot more potential than he will ever realize because everyone makes allowances for his poor behavior. I feel like they are doing him a deservice.
My goal for my kiddo is to be independent. I push him and sometimes he doesn’t like me very much. I see potential in him. He has made such great strides this year. My kiddo gets angry but we are working on that. The first 12 weeks of school were very hard. I think he finally figured out that I wasn’t giving in. He still tests me on a regular basis.

I feel bad for your grandson. I agree, they are doing him a disservice.
