I am caught in most of the traps in the book
By Dr. Noel Swanson
My son is having trouble finishing out the school year so I have decided
to start putting into practice what I have read starting the first day
of School Summer Vacation. I have read that things might get worse
before better, so I want to start when he is not coping with school
also.
He pulls A- to A+ grades but his behavior pulls him down to B and B-.
His whole class is head strong kids and pick on each other to the point
of tears at times. I am hoping that this summer (which begins May 27th
- last day of school) will be very productive for both of us.
Thank you for your time and concern. I am on chapter 7 (reading between
working) and have found that most of the information so far is exactly
what my son is doing or trying and I am caught in most of the traps in
the book.
