Can I show off?

[WhooYourHoo]

Got asked to come into school today to discuss DS. Was expecting more problems but it’s actually that he’s doing really well!!! He’s catching up on his reading (very dyslexic) and has caught up with his maths and is now considered ‘mainstream’ rather than behind! Even his social issues are improving and he’s getting on well with other class members! I am so happy and proud I could cry! Anyone else want to share their boasts?

That's great 😁

Brilliant! Sounds like he's been working really hard, hope he gets a nice treat this weekend.

Aww, this is so lovely, op. You must be floating in the clouds right now. 😊

Ah how lovely, well done to your boy!

That’s great news! Well done to your DS (and you for supporting him).

My DS(7) is suspected to have ‘dyslexic traits’ and with the Senco involved his y3 teachers and TA have been giving him daily 20 min sessions to try and help him with his phonics in particular, plus daily reading with the TA. In the space of 3 months his reading age went from 6.0 to 7.1 years so we are very pleased too.

Well done to your son that’s lovely news delighted for you.

Awwhh that is not showing off at all, that is celebrating a very big win and hard work from you and your son. Fantastic.

Fantastic 😁

Aww that’s so lovely! I hope you do something special after school to mark it as I’m sure he’s very proud too!

P.s. Nice to have a cheery AIBU for a change and not a repetitive ‘my MIL’s a cow/my neighbour said hello again this morning, how do I stop them constantly harassing me?’ type ones!

Absolutely fantastic! I’m so happy for you and your boy.

Thanks everyone! I’m sat at work smiling like a crazy person!

@Cocochai amazing! Well done you to you two too!

@Chocolatelabradorsarethebest (love the username!) I love reading a positive AIBU, but the parking and neighbour threads are always my favourite! There are some weirdos out there

Woo hoo! That all sounds really promising. I'm pleased for you, OP

No blasts here sadly but I’m more than happy to hear your good news. 😀

Blasts? Boasts.

Wonderful! Well done to him and you.

What lovely news, well done to you both 🎉

How lovely OP! Well done to you and him

That's amazing, I'll share a boast.

My 5 yr old has a health condition that means he has meds and a hospitalisation a. Few months ago. Since then his behaviour at drs appointments is bonkers, obviously anxiety but presents like climbing the walls, running off laughing, not listening etc. We've been working hard on it and he had to go to a and e yesterday (scarlet fever it turns out). And despite his meds usually making it harder for him and being worried by the kids hospital since his admission he was amaizng. Had to have blood taken and everything. I was so insanely proud of him, he is as so brave and has been taking his yucky antibiotics as well. Honestly I was beside myself, his temp was over 41 and I was also worried he'd recover when the temp went down and be impossible to chase down. Instead he was an absolute angel!

That's lovely. How nice that they took the time to give you a positive update. Well done to your son.

Well how lovely is that? Well done that boy!!& bet you’ll be smiling all day

@Forgooodnesssakenow i hope your boy is better soon. He’s a superstar too!

That's amazing! Such a huge step for little ones who find things tough. Onwards and upwards for you both!

This is wonderful to read OP. I’ve had a similar path with DS15, I know how hard it is.

That’s fantastic 😊

That's lovely. And how great of the school to call you in for a POSITIVE discussion about your son

@Forgooodnesssakenow tbat sounds so hard! Pleased he’s doing so well, hope you’re doing ok!
