Daniel is still getting into a bit of trouble at school (and church). We are working through each thing as it comes up. (pushing, hitting, kicking and even spitting - wow, yelling out during class, dis-obeying) His teacher and the principal are very optimistic and have been great to work with. They keep reminding me that he has come a long way, we are seeing improvement. The Principal was just telling me on Friday how much she loves Daniel. He is such a special boy and that sweet spirit just wins everyone over.
We just keep talking about his choices. We keep telling him that bad choices will make him unhappy but good choices will make him happy. And that's true all through life. The sooner he learns that lesson, the better for him. I think part of it may still be a communication problem. When he speaks with adults, they are more patient with him and open to figuring out what he's trying to say. The other kids aren't quite as patient and understanding. I think at times he gets frustrated when he can't get his point across and resorts to what he knows gets attention. That's no excuse for his behavior but we're trying to figure out what gets into him. Check out some of his great karate moves:
We appreciate your continued prayers for Daniel. Change is hard. Adjustment is uncomfortable and it takes time to develop new habits. We're hoping we survive while he learns new habits!
