My Beautiful Boy

Corey went to school quite happily today which was great.  I can’t work him out, some days he goes to school fine and others he just refuses to go.  The school has set up a developmental plan to help him be less anxious at school so hopefully that might make a difference.

This morning I tried to keep things happy and got us running on schedule so that we weren’t rushing and running late, which I think made a difference to.  It’s weird though like none of those things bother the other two boys just Corey.

Yesterday afternoon I bought Aspergers Parenting which is an ebook so I had instant delivery. I downloaded it and printed it out – all 213 pages.  Now even though I don’t know if Corey has Aspergers or not when it talked about how to handle the behavior problems and anger I thought that it may be able to help me with him anyway.  I sat down last night and read it all and although there are many symptoms of Aspergers that Corey just doesn’t have, there were some that when I was reading them it was just like I was reading about Corey.

It was really good to read it and read about other kids that act the way Corey does.  Maybe it is just bad behavior but I was talking about it last night with Derek (my husband) and he also agrees that Coreys behavior is beyond normal bad behavior.  Especially when we look at the other two boys and they have all been brought up the same way and disciplined in the same way and the other two aren’t like him.

I did feel a bit better after reading Aspergers Parenting it was quite a good ebook and I think I’ll sit down and read it all again one day soon just to take it in more.  Last night when I was reading it I underlined everything in green texta that I thought reminded me of Corey.

Anyway, I’m off to cook dinner and then get the boys ready for bed.

Bye
