First day of school

Finally the first day of school here. Went to buy Ella's school gear yesterday as I didn't order the book pack this year. So well organised as always!And already had drama this morning because Ella...

"And I doubt they go look at kids' files before school starts?" They should!!! What a bummer that you've both had to deal with this on the first day. Fingers crossed her teacher will be much better...

Maybe they do that before the first parent-teacher interview which should be in a couple of weeks, but I'm not sure. She had a good day apparently and seems to like her teacher so far, but of course...

We got to school early (yay!) and I dropped her off in her class. It's a really nice space in a great location. Much better than were she was last year in a room accommodating two year 1 classes. I...

That sounds positive Lin. Although you are calling it damage control, the fact that Ella can stand up and excuse herself from class when she needs the toilet will take a lot of pressure off, lessen...

"She hadn't because she had heard kids being told off for doing so." Sometimes teachers just don't realise how much influence they have over children! Sounds like a better start today. I hope the new...

Definitely sounds like a positive start to the year. Here's hoping it stays that way.

Re: First day of school

Have you tried those pull up nappy type things? I don't know much about them but a friend used them on her son for ages at night. Perhaps they're less discrete than the pad you're using.

Re: First day of school

She wears them at night but they would be way too visible to wear under a dress during the day. Also, the stigma attached to wearing a "nappy" to school would be worse than the cosequences of not...

Re: First day of school

Fair enough. I wondered if that might be the case. If not then I would have thought they'd offer better absorbency than what she's using. But humiliating her is not going to make things any better.

Re: First day of school

If it were my child I'd definitely be going the pad over any kind of nappy. Is the pad working well when she is able to change it as often as she needs to, Lin? A friend of mine has made her son some...

Re: First day of school

It works as long as she can get to the toilet to change soon after the accident. Which is preferable anyway of course. And she seems motivated to do it too, which is step in the right direction....

"Anything at all that I can do to encourage her to manage the symptoms as best as she can herself is a big win for us." Sounds like you're definitely on the right track!

Re: First day of school

does it happen at home on weekends, Lin?

Re: First day of school

It does occasionally, Clancy, though more likely when we're out. The big difference at home is that the toilet is literally seconds away. So she is never forced to wait at all. And even then I...

Re: First day of school

We had our information night tonight. There are a few things I'm not very happy about. One is that they are not continuing their 'Count me in too' numeracy program, which taught them maths in groups...

Re: First day of school

How long before you move to the new area, Lin? Are you going to move her to a new school there? I used to get ropeable because all the extra facilities were being sunk into the chosen few in the...

Re: First day of school

We will probably move in term 4. And I am still interested in moving her to the school there. I got the impression from their website that they were committed to helping both ends of the spectrum,...

Was talking to Ella about her classroom and when I mentioned that it was good that it had an office attached, she informed me that that was because L was in her class and he can only be in a classroom...
