There is nothing more important than good communication between your child’s teacher and you. A popular way of communicating is through a notebook that goes back and forth to school. I rely on this method with both my special needs children. The teacher and I mostly write to each other about increases or decreases of certain behaviors as well as academic achievements. We also exchange ideas and suggestions. It’s a good way to stay involved in your child’s life at school.

Anthony was an only child for 9 years, so being 1 of 4 was not going be easy. But Anthony has come a long way with accepting and loving his new siblings. Anthony has the most difficulties with the baby (2 year old boy) but their relationship is getting better. One thing they have in common is playing with Thomas the Tank Engine. Anthony has enjoyed playing with train sets since he was 3 years old. This may be the common interest that will strengthen their bond as brothers.
