Noah Preschool Adjustments

Since Noah started preschool he has held behavioral issues to a certain extent. Randomly hitting children, not listening to teachers, not taking naps and playing around instead, constantly talking, and just not being able to make friends due to his hyperactive aggressiveness in school. We have noticed a number of things occurring at home along the same extent but have managed to correct his behavior. So after 6 weeks of discussions and behavior modifications it seems as if something has snapped in his attitude at school.

Miss Julie, Miss Stacy, and Miss Diane all of his preschool teachers have commended Noah on his attitude adjustments for the better. In addition they have stated that they have been giving him more work to do in school so that it could keep his mind busy. Miss Julie told me this morning that she has been especially pleased with his progress and called his intelligence "scary smart".

After all of the parenting adjustments I for the first time felt like I was actually doing something right as a parent. That one comment of assurance from a preschool teacher helped me reconcile four and half years of feeling like a poor mother becuase my child has always been different from the other kids his age. I hope that we can continue as his parents and teachers help him grow into his maturity and intelligence.
