  • Give the Boy a Keyboard

    Posted on Wednesday December 31st, 2008 at 13:09 in school

    We were called to school a couple weeks ago to discuss Fast Boy’s behavior. It’s certainly a lot better than it has been in the past, but his teacher is getting frustrated. She said that every time she thinks she finds a reward that works...

    Posted on Wednesday December 17th, 2008 at 09:58 in behavioral problems, manipulative behavior

    I haven’t posted in quite some time, I know. Does that mean things have been quiet? Unfortunately, no. However, things have gotten better in the past year. Nobody is getting hit in the face with sticks and so far there have been no in-school su...

  • Poop!

    Posted on Friday August 31st, 2007 at 19:35 in shenanigans, impulsivity

    Literally.  Smeared all over the bathroom cabinets next to the toilet.  How?  He “stuck his hand in his butt and wiped it.”  Why?  Because he “felt like it.”  After we supervised the clean-up of poop on the bathroom cabi...
