Better than I expected

Well That talk went far better than i thought it would go.

Like I said before we really like Andrew's teacher. She has done such great things with all the students in her class, not just Andrew. He has learned so much being in her class. It was good that she sees all of the great qualities of our boy that we do. Just to name a few of his fantastic qualities: she said he has great social skills, he can talk to and make friends with everyone in his class. He is always good for a compliment, if you need to know what you are good for he will be the first one to tell you. He doesn't throw fits like the other kids. The smartest kid in the class throws fits like a two year old I hear. He is even tempered, not alot of things bother him and when something is an accident he just says it will be okay and moves on. It's good to know those things when you are a parent.

However, he has a focus problem. She has a hard time getting him to focus on something for a long period. He hates work sheets, but she says all the kids hate those. And she says he's very soft spoken and never sure of his answers when she asks him a question.

The solution?

Well we are going to have him tested for a few things, like ADHD and some other stuff. It seems like there is just a switch that hasn't been flipped on and once we figure out how to do that he will learn much better and faster we hope.

Andrew is a smart kid and he can do anything he puts his mind to. We are going to help him anyway and every way we can and he will do great things in his life! For now we are going to help him figure out how to do it!
