So here i am sat at the laptop at a much earlier time than normal so the outlook is currently middle of the road, yesterday afternoon i saw some lovely sunshine streaming in through the windows so i'm hoping for more later.
Today we're gonna be blagging it. Our son is home feeling under the weather. Yesterday he mentioned having a 'funny' tummy but i sent him in as i didn't see any signs of it in the run up to leaving, in the afternoon he was messaging me saying how un-sympathetic the staff were being almost being the opposite if anything which of course just made the situation worse with our son getting wound up and frustrated. He has a sore eye too, not sure if it's something we need something for so a trip to the chemist today as it seems that's now the thing to do before you call the doctors and see if we can help clear that up, he's still sleeping so that's good.
This week he went horse riding and actually got on a horse, I'm not clear if he was led round on it but he was chuffed to have got on one which i think is something we'd all have reservations about. I have had a couple of horse riding lessons but never went any further with it as the friend i went with stopped, well atleast i think that's what happened.
Our son is still in 'Re-Focus' he has spent more days than not telling me he doesn't want to go to school than ever before which doesn't bode well and 'if' having ADHD is a factor the inconsistencies at school won't be helping any. There was a time when i suggested keeping him out of assemblies especially when it's long as asking any child to sit for up to an hour is a big ask but when talking and fidgeting is a factor it's less than ideal but the response was 'no we don't want to segregate him from his peers' but the consequences at school do just that and whilst I'm trying to see 'Re-Focus' as being helpful rather than punishment he is still working in a hut which was flooded on Monday with possibly two other kids, no outside time, no fresh air, and a distinct lack of social time (which of course comes with it's pitfalls). Next week I'm led to believe they will integrate him back into classes, so more change. I have so little knowledge about this but it feels to me that the things they have done so far are not helping at all. We have a meeting next week so we'll see what gets said but i feel i need to start saying what I'm feeling rather than sitting and listening after all whilst we can't speed up the process of him being assessed i can push for more constructive help......

Let the sunshine in :)
So here we are another week round but the view from my window is quite different, a cold frosty morning with sunshine which makes all the difference to me, i love to see the sunshine even if i don't appreciate it's heat lol
So today my son should be going horse riding. As part of our Early Help it was brought up with very little discussion and when asked if he would like it i said he might. He had been to a place with horses before but they didn't ride them, they groomed them and talked about approaching them and even decorated them with chalks one day, strange but true. After last weeks session our son was sick on the way home, he sometimes mentions feeling ill on car journeys but is rarely sick, the horse session wasn't where i thought it was and as a result he was ill on the way back to school. I only know this because he text me from his phone so i was then waiting for school to call me to pick him up which they didn't. When i asked how he got on he didn't say much to indicate one way or another how he felt just that the other boy who went was much more reluctant regarding the horses than he was. So there has been very little discussion at home since until yesterday when we were encouraging our son to organise his things ready for today and he was saying he didn't want to go. Most of his reasons for not going were in relation to the other boy which doesn't seem like a good reason not to go but he said he didn't really like it either so wrongly or not i thought oh well back to lessons for you if you don't want to go.
This morning i sent him off to school having informed them of this discussion but also telling him he needed to go and chat with the Senco lady and explain. On my return home later i am told it's a six week course and can i bring his boots in to school by which time it's too late anyway. So what do you do, i have tried explaining and not just to him (another story) that school is just that, it's a place you go every day to learn, you might not like it, the lessons or the teachers but it's just something we do. I do have very mixed feelings about school these days particularly with the difficulties we now face daily but sometimes you just wish your children would just get on with it, easy to say i know. So who knows how things will have worked out today, time will tell but to an extent i am trying not to stress unnecessarily over these things..............
