I'm in a totally different situation, but my son has high functioning autism and is in a regular school, consequently, he is behind in certain areas, especially writing and reading. He has books sent home every night but it got to the stage where we were having a battle every single day, he was starting to dislike reading at all and yet he once loved books. So, I took the pressure off. I haven't been forcing him to read and spell at home, I will start to encourage it again when he doesn't feel the pressure, but for now I know he is progressing at school, from as much as I'm told and I'm just going with it. xNatalie Hollandhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13281023592166537600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7657692498739441022.post-85719403915112333052012-09-04T11:54:49.377-11:002012-09-04T11:54:49.377-11:00they should have warned us before we opted in to t...they should have warned us before we opted in to this parenting business that things like schools can cause so much worry shouldn't they, I do believe a 6 hour stint of behaving and listening and trying is more than enough so to add extra when they come home causing everyone stress and upset isn'tgreat is it xSarahmumof3http://www.blogger.com/profile/03928332640674423684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7657692498739441022.post-4646116267459771162012-09-04T11:19:08.813-11:002012-09-04T11:19:08.813-11:00I think you're doing the best thing for him an...I think you're doing the best thing for him and from the sounds of his recent school report you're doing a brilliant job. Yes it is our role as parents to teach our children but it is also our duty to help shape the person that they are. Forcing a child to read will only enforce their dislike of books not encourage them to learn. By treating him the same way you would if he were to get an A in spelling, you're showing him that you're still proud of him! <br>I don't have a LO in school yet, I'm dreading it!
