Proudest mum in the world tonight!

MrsP

I want to share this with you guys because I think your probably the only parents that will 'get it'.

For MONTHS I've tried to get Ds (6) in after school groups... We started swimming, he ended up in 1:1 lessons because he just couldn't cope.

, we tried football where I removed him after the instructor was an idiot and made ds feel like he was rubbish.. We tried beavers where he ended up again on 1:1 because he couldn't cope... Then we tried Marshall arts.

TONIGHT my son had a Marshall arts lesson where he didn't stim, he didn't make inappropriate noises, he listened to the instructo. Wasn't reminded ONCE about listening or behaving and was actually just like every other kid there - he was soooo proud of himself it brought tears my eyes!! 

What other parents can take for granted I got to see tonight - my little lad copying routines, and more importantly picking partners to pair up with for sparring!!

absolukey over the moon :) :)

  • Hi,

    no he didn't.. But he is by and large a collector - he loves pokemon and hinges yuu have to collect (like badges!) he excelled in his reading when we pointed out the better he did the quicker he moved through colour bands.. So when I pointed out belts that you collect as you get better he seemed a lot more interested!!! He's not a competitive kid as a rule, but as I say he loves collecting things so this was an extension of this in a way?!! We also had success with sticker charts the same way.. He wasn't bothered by a reward but absolutely loved getting the actual sticker for his collection lol
