5 zeros equal a BIG FAT ZERO!

The current grade of my Jare..... All zeros.  I guess he's allergic homework & classwork alike.  I just knew they were calling me to come in and chat because they were going try to convince me to begin meds again....  (NOT happening by the way!).... Not that they are allowed to do that "by law".  It's the simple phrases "focus, won't stay on task, daydreaming, etc", all phrases that are thrown around to hint at the idea that meds are a better idea!   To break me, so to speak, into giving in to the 6 year long running "focus" issues.   BUT, they didn't.  I was good with the meeting we had yesterday.  He is afraid to ask for help, I think he just doesn't know "how" to ask for help.  It puzzles me because he talks all the time at home and he certainly asks me for help.  His behavior is so different at school and at home.   We all know how smart he is, every one of us in that room KNOW.  He thinks he just can't do anything right.  I feel bad for his self-esteem and confidence.  He needs positive reinforcement.
His teachers were kind enough to be lenient and allow him to do some of his assignments at home.  We assisted him on a minimal level, in hopes that he would try to do the work himself.  He did good for the most part.  Thank God we were able to do some of his work.  Finished it all up in one night as well.  Praying for healing of my little guys mind and intellect.  Praying he finds his confidence and strength in The Lord.

Peace, Love and Zeros!
