No news on Harry's refferal yet. He saw a Cranial Osteopath last Thursday who said he had alot of tension inside his head and did a bit of work on him. She has given me Bach Flower Remedy Wild Oats and he's to go back in a months time.
His behaviour is on the slippery slope at school and he has now started nicking things off the teachers desk, just small stuff like blu-tack and paperclips, but understandably they are not very impressed! He does seem to go in a cycle and we're on the downward spiral at the moment. At least we know it will pick up again.
Harry had an away match with Rugby today and we shared a car with his friend. By the time we got to Rugby Harry was high as a kite and stayed pretty high. Anyway, one of the coaches came storming up to me infront of all the other parents and started saying things like "I can't do it. I can't carry on coaching Harry. He is too disruptive. I can't cope. I'll have to talk to the other coaches because I can't coach Harry anymore. I just can't." I was dumbfounded.
Recently, I was told my children couldn't continue with one of their after school activities as other children on the waiting list needed a turn. It is called Boccia. Its like French Boule and I wanted Harry to do it to help him learn patience and turn taking. After a few weeks it dawned on me that that whilst my children had only done it for one term there were other children that had been doing it for over a year and they were still in the club. So I asked the teacher in charge of the Boccia club why mine weren't in the club. She said that it was really set up for children who have co-ordination problems as it helps them and that one child in particular, who has Cerebal Palsy, needed her friends around her. She also said she couldn't have more than 20 children at a time. So I said "OK at least it wasn't my children's behaviour." "They were the worst behaved," was her quick reply. She then went on to explain that she doesn't get paid to do the club and that she can't spend time with disruptive children. So I guess I now know the real reason for them not being in the club.I should have said that Harry was very good friends with one of the children the group was initially set up for and doesn't he need his friends around him like the Cerebal Palsy girl! However, I didn't I left with my tail between my legs feeling kicked in the stomach. And now its happend again at Rugby - I feel like stamping my foot like a petulant child - it all feels so unfair.
