It is still morning here for an hour, approximately. I have been busy fielding phone calls and working in my journals. Then I suddenly remembered that I hadn't written here yet. It is looking like there is a program at the cooperative learning center for the county which will work well for my youngest son. He loves computers and doing things with them, such as making videos and programming through a website called Scratch. It happens to turn out that there is a program at the cooperative learning center that focuses on things like that which is also more like a traditional classroom than the other programs there.
Snuggle Bug, as I call him on the internet, is a bit uncertain about it all. But I think if he can get his feet wet, he will enjoy the opportunity to do this kind of stuff. He's always admired his father and been proud of the fact that as an electrical engineer, his father has helped make stuff that goes up in rockets (among many other things). Giving Snuggle Bug a chance to do something similar may set him up for future success. That is the hope, however. Snuggle Bug needs a classroom environment that is rather calm and fairly free of distractions. From what they have been able to tell me, this is what that classroom environment is like, which will make this a better fit for him.
It would be hard for him to be interested in the subject matter but unable to participate because his ADHD was going overtime. Little things like that make school a tough place for my boys. My eldest is graduating this year. I have less worries about him than I do about my youngest when it comes to school. They're both maturing and stuff. But they still have a ways to go and it seems to take a lot of effort and thought to come up with ways that are supportive with out being stifling. So far, Beloved and I have been pretty successful. Or at least that is what the school tells us. I am just anxious about the future because things are so up in the air at the present.
