Agreed Lori! Keeping the focus on your child, considering his needs and what you know to be true about what helps him thrive will keep you both moving forward. All to often I think parents are either made to believe that the business of parenting should be left to schools or that simply hoping their child's emotional state will cause change. Taking action, like you have, causes change. Thanks for stepping up to the plate. Best, Joe
