9/11/12 Status Quo

Well it would appear Joshua is not going to progress or regress.  We are doing different things and getting the same results.  I got a call from the school yesterday when he did not go to school.  One of those calls where they say, "have you tried this?", "do you think this will work?".  We have tried everything to get this boy to school, short of hooking a rope around him and dragging him out of the house in his pj's.  When he goes down to the floor and says "I no like to go to school"  you can bet your last dollar that you will not be able to get him out the door.  Its not like we party all day when he stays home.  He loses all electronics use for the day.  No TV usage, No computer usage.  What is so fun about staying home?  By the end of the day when the family gets home he is telling them how much he don't like me.  But we can't get him out the door to go to school.  This is driving me nuts.

So home bound is a no go,  they offered half days where the bus would still do transportation but a later time and still getting home at 230.  Which would be great but there is no way he will go to school for just me with no one else home to encourage him out the door.  I just know I will be getting a letter about attendance in no time at all.  What can we do?

  1. That's really difficult. We have talked about this before but school is hard! Last year wasn't a huge deal because it was Pre-K but now he's in official Kindergarten EBD or not so I worry, too. Noah has missed 2 days, he's been late once and Thursday will probably be another absent day IF he is calm enough to even go tomorrow.
