Let it Out

This morning Joshua had a no holds bar fit this am. It started out as goofing around that got out of hand. Partly due to me and partly because he is 7 and doens't know when to stop. But I thought letting him scream and fight and get really angry he would feel better and move on.

Yes and no it worked. Didn't want to give me a kiss before he left for school and when the bus came he ran to be first in line. Then he looked over at me with that ha I don't need you look and I am going to get on the bus and there is nothing you can do... but after the bus doors open he stopped and started letting the other kids on the bus and he started toward the end of the line. He looked up at me and I went straight over and gave him a big kiss and hug and told him I loved him. I will see him later today at school so we shall see how the rest of the day goes.

It has been a week and I still don't know when the next meeting on Brandon is going to be. But the teacher will not help me on the meds that Brandon takes, she says she can't really say if they work or not, it will take more time. Uhm huh? He has been on them for two months and how much do you need? Even if we just switch the type of brand of medicine, she can't tell me if it has made any difference. So I am confused on what to do at this point. I think they need to be upped and may give it a try. Brandon's one on one teacher says she see improvement but he still is very distracted.

Can you remind me what Brandon's taking again? I can tell you that Daniel's teacher thanked us profusely for putting him on meds. If the teacher can't tell the difference, then I'd say that's important.
Luckily, we don't get too many temper tantrums!!!!
