Isaac's IN

So we have had a series of meetings with the Early Intervention Program here in HI about Isaac to get and his Sensory. He is now successfully into the EI Program here in HI. Today was his official assessment. And is is ahead in fine and gross motor skills, which we had already been told by the OT at Tripler. A little below average for speech, not delayed enough for help, but will be monitored to make sure that he progress on time. A little behind in Cognitive, which I actually disagree with, but I am not going to stop him from getting extra help. A normal for self-help skills, and one other that I can't remember.

Now lets be honest Isaac has some behavioral problems, mainly because I never knew what to do when he would throw a fit. So he had learned to throw a fit when he wants to refuse to do stuff. Now if he is a well rested, well feed child, then I do NOT let him get away with it. But if it is 1 hr past nap time, and he has not a had a good lunch, I am NOT going to make him point to my EYE!! You kinda have to pick a choice what is important in life. But the Special Education Teacher SCOLDED me for not "following through" on that. PLEASE lets be realistic. And just cause I don't throw a big party when he does something that he is supposed to do, does not mean I am a bad mom. I think a simple thank you should suffice.
