Tomorrow concludes my son's run of his social skills class. Im not sure what happens afterwards. I don't know will happen after that? If they provide you with input, results or a suggestion of continuing when they offer it again? I do know that my son is excited for the party they are having to wrap things up.
I had a moment last week where I questions myself, wondering if I had done harm then good. For *Character week* at school, on Friday a bunch of the glasses were putting together a little performance. This is not something our son enjoys doing. So to motivate him, I let him know a few days ahead of time that if he went to the gym with his class and sang at least part of the song Daddy would take him to see the Avengers on the weekend. We brought it up a few times before hand to prepare him, and all was good. Until Friday morning. He didn't feel well, didn't want to go. I got him out the door and all was good until the bus pulled out. I could see the panic in his face and tears starting in his eyes. I don't even remember what the conversation I had with him was, as all I could think was *what had I done*.
I came home and quickly called his teacher to give her the heads up. I'm fortunate she is so in tune with him as she had called back to let me know she knew the signs he was close to melt down when he walked into the classroom and was able to calm him before it went any further. She was able to provide comfort to him by letting him know that if it got to be too much he could sit with her, or they could leave the gym and go for a walk. I let her know what my deal was with him and how bad I felt, feeling as though I had brought the panic on.
We had a great chat and I hung feeling re-assured he was fine.
Then, I thought - why not surprise him! So off my daughter and one of my daycare kids and i went. He was thrilled to see us, and I have to say I couldn't have been prouder.
He sat with his class the whole time and sang through the parts he was suppose to. His teacher was thrilled and gave him a huge hug afterward. He throughly enjoy'd the Avengers this past weekend.
May 24th is the day. I have a meeting with the psycologist to school to see what the recommendations are. Im both excited and nervous.
Try not to be so hard on yourself, in the end everything worked out well. Thinking of you.
