Manic Monday

Gary did not have a great day at school today. He was kicking and stabed his Paraprofesional with a pencil. So I sat on the ground with him and talked about his day. They had donuts in the classroom and he missed getting some because he was in time out. So he was still fixed on getting donuts. So we sat there and talked about how he missed the donuts. How kicking and hitting was not being good. We talked about what being good would look like. Then we talked about what we could do to earn a donut. I told him he could not have the donuts at school, but could earn a donut from Lamars. So I told him all the things he needed to do to earn a donut. First we went back inside the school. We appoligized to Miss Jesica and promised not to hurt her tomorrow. We went home and had to put away our back pack and go potty in the potty chair like a big boy. We had to pee in the little green cup ( yes I have still been trying to get the sample for the Doctor's office). Then he got to go to Lamars and pick out his donut.

Now he is behaving just fine. He has been very good and sweet. I hope he has a good day tomorrow. but at least he looked at me and listened to what makes a good boy and what makes a bad boy. This is a great start. We use to not beable to get him to understand or even care about his behavior. Even regular 6 year olds don't always say sorry when they are wrong or sit and talk about their behavior. So I think we will have a good day for the rest of today. It is already in the 80's and only 1 pm. Hot hot hot.

Love
