Worries

Well, the summer has drawn to an end, and Nathan is back at school. Friday he had his first note sent home, informing us of an incident where Nathan became upset. He pinched his finger when putting a chair away, and that put him in one of his snits. They said he glared at the para, and said, "I know how to do it!" He continued to glare at the para, and the para replied, "Please do not talk to me that way!" The teacher said she will remind him that this is not acceptable.

I've got to wonder if she realizes that he gets like that when he is overstimulated, and the pinched finger was more like the proverbial straw on the camel's back...?

On a good note, the neighbor kids have steered clear of Nathan all summer. Only once did they mess with him, after the cops came by. The boy saw Nathan in the yard, and yelled that he was going to cut off his head for calling the police on him. Nathan yelled back that HE didn't call the police, his mom did! heh heh heh

The neighbor girl is in his class again this year, though. I have waited on the corner with him for the bus, so she hasn't been alone with him yet. I'm afraid to leave him alone with her.

Geez, do all parents have these kinds of worries all the time?
