Conferences
Interesting enough, both of my terrors “forgot” to give me the confirmation letters regarding their teacher conferences. I ended up rescheduling both conferences for today and I’m not certain that the terrors were too thrilled with that. I don’t know why, because they are both doing well. Sam needs to stop sabotaging himself when it comes to schoolwork and Zack needs to learn his letters better. Neither has behavior problems, both are adored by their teachers, and both are well liked by their peers. Sam needs to bring his grades up, but I bet they’d go up a lot more if he would give his homework a shot AND turn it in. I sit down with him every night and do his homework with him. Then he doesn’t turn it in. Talk about defeating yourself. I think he’s his own worse enemy sometimes. We’re trying to work on helping him with that. We’ve tried everything we can to get him to stop defeating himself and now we’re going to ask his psychiatrist for help. No, I don’t mean drugs. I’m thinking he might need some therapy or something. Maybe he’s bottling things up too much or something. I don’t know anymore. I want to help him, but we’ve tried every avenue and can’t seem to reach him.
