trying to survive....
Sorry I haven't been around too much--Two weeks ago I checked out Facebook...and wow it sure can be addicting...
Anyway...difficult child 1 started this new tic about 5 days ago where he is shrugging his shoulder and moving his head side to side rapidly multiple times a minute all day long !!! He has been lucky and his tics have been very mild...and I am grateful for that...but this week it's been pretty bad.
I feel sorry for him as there have been a few kids who have said things to him. He's trying to just respond my saying he's just streching or he just has to do it...We've also practiced him saying Can we please just talk about something else...He also came home today saying he did a bad job on a test today because he couldn't really focus on the computer with his head moving...I told him not worry about it. He does have accommodations if needed, but this one reading test that is given three times a year does not allow any read to accommodations...
Of couse he is coming home and falling apart....and I need to be forgiving because the day is stressful....
Thanks for letting me vent....wishing this tic away soon....
