Un...OH my, this story has brought tears to my eyes. Understanding and patience and love is what this child needed. It saddens me that her other school, especially being private didn't take that additional time and effort to love on this child. Thank you for being the caring, loving and supportive adult this child needed. This post reminds me that I need to continue to make that extra effort with those sometimes difficult children. One never knows what might really be going on and if we don't take the time to figure it out we may lose a great mind to a misdiagnosis.<br /><br />SuziTeaching in the Junglehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17039397711606508020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7369565567676810137.post-31492645886285847912012-07-05T04:38:12.970-07:002012-07-05T04:38:12.970-07:00Jennifer this story really touched my heart. My hu...Jennifer this story really touched my heart. My husband is currently on deployment and will be back in 21 days (who's counting), he left in January. Our children have handled his absence so graciously, supporting each other and me. Don't get me wrong there have been bumpy times along this year especially with my son who has ADHD, but we kept to our routines and boundaries and they are so excited about him coming home. I forewarned his teacher that he would probably have some difficulties around the 2 - 3 month mark and he did, so she was able to make sure he knew that everything here was still the same and that the rules didn't change. She did this in a very caring and supportive way. I am glad that he had her. It is so difficult for an adult to deal with an absent spouse, it is a hundred times harder for children to deal with it. As a military wife it brings a tear to my eye to hear how you supported this young girl, it is not only our soldiers who make the sacrifices, our children make the greatest sacrifice of feeling secure and growing up without their hero with them all the time. I want to send blessings to all the soldiers who have been deployed and a bigger blessing to all the families missing them.<br />PS Sorry this is such a long comment, couldn't help myself.<br />Tania<br /> <i><b><a href="http://www.poultneytania.blogspot.com.au/" rel="nofollow">Mrs Poultney's Ponderings</a></b></i>Classroom Ponderingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10945057688474138280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7369565567676810137.post-67583014374066884042012-07-05T04:36:51.700-07:002012-07-05T04:36:51.700-07:00What a great story.
