lately i have been feeling over whalmed i work full time and have3 kids under 6.  it seems as if i can not get any thing done ask hubby for help he will not i feel as if i want to leave the situation any advice will help a lot   

Got a meeting about my son today.  Just got a call from the teacher,I believe that in the meeting we are going to discuss putting my son in a typical classroom seting.  for the longest time I have wanted this for him, however i feel a little sad because of the fact that if he goes into a typical developing classroom that he could possible struggle and end up falling behind or even worse end up with a teacher that does not care for him as much as his current and just brushes him off.  There is a part of me that is ready for him to be in that setting so that i can see how he adapts and if he will excel, or if the pressure is too much for him.  I guess you can say I have mixed feelings about the situation,should I be happy   or sad 

Hello
  I wish i have completely come to that peaceful place with my son's learning issues.  there are days when I sit and think about him and how we got to the place where we are now I sit and think and wonder if i had did something wrong or ate something i should have not while i was pregnant with him.  I just know that I can build his esteem and i want him in a place where he can be the best him he can be.  I work full time with children and every day I am faced with the fact that my son is not like his peers for a moment It made me sad and I felt really bad but then I realized that he is not like his peers now but he is a strong, sweet, and bright young man and he will catch up to his friends soon and I love him the same.  I just think that things could always be worse.  I just count the blessings that i do have with him.    I hope all works out with your son and he blows those teachers away.  just keep hope and working with him at home.      

I hope that all works out for you.  please do not suffer in silence,  when you go to the meetings in reguards to your son where they create or mend his IEP they should give you a copy of your rights under I.d.e.a.  do they not give these to you?  If you feel that he is having way much more work than he can handle have them to ammend his IEP.  I urge you to let the ones in charge of writting his Iep that you are worried that he is going to get behind.  you said in the reply that school achivement is a status symbol in your town are you worried about  how this will make you look if you say he can not keep up?

hello,are you in the U.S?  if you are when you attend the conferences in reguards to your son does the school not offer you a copy of your rights for him?  in reguard to his education? 

Hello,
  My child learns differently also.  teachers should not get upset when a parent tells them that a child is getting fustrated by the homework if anything they should be coming up with other options for that child.  Also if this teacher is not willing to help you with your son I would go and see if the person over the school is willing to step in and help you.  my son has an issue of things not staying in his short memory  and after a period of time where the teachers just talks he has the ablity to "zone out"  I told the teacher that he has now that what ever they are working on his class send it home and we will finish it.  I have learned that in our system that if i do not stick up and tell these teachers what i need from them for me to help my son to become successful they will do what they want and i made it clear that I am his mother and I determine what he needs. and also i guess that i am one that when it comes to my son i am going to tell them what is going on with my son and if they do not like what i have to say than tough that is their problem, it is their job to educate our children and make sure they develop the skills they need to be the best they can be.     

children learn a variety of ways they learn best when it is fun and filled with play.  Play is a childs way of learning.  When teaching  you have to be excited about what ever you are teaching.  when I work with my son I try to make the lessons related to his favorite thing.  When we were learning our colors he loved thomas the train we used the trains to teach him his colors.  When we learned our body parts we would sing songs. 

Any taks a child learns becomes better the more they have a chance to practice that skill.  some children develop skills quicker than others.  the more they get to work on a skill the better the become at it.   

hello, I work with children when it comes to this skill  you do not want to get the child to the point where they loose the drive to learn the skill I would start with the basics of the letters such a curves and straight lines.  If you feel as if they have the basic shapes down I also suggest to parents to get a marker any color like yellow and draw a letter and have the child to try to  trace over the letter the parent has written.  And lastly remeber to praise any attempt they make.  it may not look like the letter but they are trying.
