*********************************************** An Important Facebook Post From Last
Week
A perspective from Ross Greene, founding director of the non-profit Lives in the Balance, author of the books The Explosive Child, Lost at School and Raising Human Beings, and a creator behind the forthcoming documentary The Kids We Lose.
"…The bottom line is that, as a society, we aren't very good at understanding and helping kids with behavioral problems like his. And we aren't very good at supporting the people who are charged with helping them. Our schools are symptomatic of these truths…
But challenging behavior is simply a signal. It communicates that a kid is
struggling to meet certain social, behavioral and academic expectations. If we only focus on the signals - the behaviors - we overlook the problems that are causing those behaviors.
We are far more productive when we're trying to solve those problems than we are when we're simply modifying the behaviors caused by those problems. Punitive interventions don't solve those problems. Detentions don't; nor do suspensions, expulsions or paddling. Nor does arresting a kid at school and punting
his problems to the courts."

P.S. Attention parents who dread IEP meetings & want to do the best for their kids!
What if, instead of being alone, overwhelmed and isolated, you could have the support of a professional advocate and other parents who are blazing trails for their child and yours?
Do you wish you could connect with another parent who has been there, that also knows the
inside of how schools work, is a professional advocate and can really help?
Imagine having someplace to turn to with your questions no matter when, no matter what comes up, and no matter when you have
your questions. You have someplace to go to get answers.
Imagine having some free time when you don't have to think about school and meetings!
I invite you to become a member of our private parent group. You’ll
be wishing you could have done this years ago! Click here for more info.
