Seen, Heard and Believed

Noah is doing so great lately! He still has his moments,but better understanding what Sensory Integration has really changed our lives. I finally understand what is bugging him to death, and just what kind of physical needs he has. I still haven't been able to "quench" that demand for the muscular sensory seeking,but we are certainly on the right track. All is looking up in his little world.
Riley had an issue with another kid at school who has been calling him names and has actually hurt him a few times (once led to stitches in his head!) Luckily, the school takes it as seriously as we do and are taking the appropriate measures to keep my little B happy. I know that there is an old school way of handling bullies. Hitting back, or just saying "boys will be boys" doesn't solve anything. Happily, my husband and I are not in that frame of mind and have chosen a progressive school that ALL kids can flourish in. I feel bad for the kid, he obviously has some issues he needs help with and hopefully, his parents will follow through with those needs. All I know is, MY kid was thrilled to know that we all had his back and that he would never have to play with that kid, EVER!
Bottom line is children should be seen,heard and believed.
