yes, having a special needs child has taught me a few important lessons in life:
- moderate my expectations of my NT gals. as long as they are healthy, happy and are kind, the rest of their achievements are bonuses.
- be more tolerant of other people who are seemingly different from myself. Give them the benefit of doubt.
Our special needs children are our teachers as much as we are their teachers.

Yes, our special needs kids have thought us not to take things for granted, patience, true love

Then the teachers just have to find activities for him to do! Some kids stop their naps earlier than others. It's their jobs to manage them. My boy also stopped napping very early.me too.. i start to defends when pp complaint about weird persons.

Sometimes u need to ignore these teachers. What can u do when u are not even there? Are u to solve their problems? -

Next time the teachers complain again, u just ask \"and so?\" they will stop in their tracks and stop complaining.

i beg to differ from mashy… afterall, they are still our own kids… how can we say its the teachers’ problems?
helplessmum3, how old is your son? -
helplessmum3, u can actually try during the weekends to see if ur son sleeps too much at night? try exhausting him by asking him to skip or run or other exercise and make him take nap after that… some children stop napping earlier than the others, and boys tend to be more energetic… try activities to exhaust his energy and i believe he will be back to his naps… try it before informing the teachers and see how it goes…

I suddenly recall some methods you can use to interest your girl to write. You can get her to trace letters on sand or rice. Pour some sand/rice or anything grainy (or something foam-y like shaving cream etc) on a tray and get her to trace her letters. This is actually a well known method used by montessori. But it may get messy or she may end up fiddling with the grains.
I also remembered I used the doodle board app on my iPhone- and still do for Chinese words, and let my boy Practice his writing rather than using pen & paper. I also downloaded a couple of tracing apps for him. The point is, make it as interesting as possible. I think sitting down writing with pen & paper may be a tad dull even for NT kids.
I dunno. Just some suggestions -
