My 7 year old grandson is an awesome very good and smart boy. He has rules and responsibilities and is always willing to help in any way he can. He is always respectful and very sensitive. He is an only child because his mom had to have a hysterectomy after he was born to save her life. This year since he has started second grade he has refused to do some of the work. He has actually thrown a math paper on the floor in refusal. He never behaves like this for us! Don't get me wrong he is good but also has a normal amount of testy about him but he is always reasonable. This behavior now is NOT him and we are at wits end trying to figure out what can be causing this behavior. When he applies himself he is an above average child. Typically he has problems first thing in the morning and then possibly again toward the end of the day after lunch. His fasting blood sugar and it tends to run in the 118 - 120's and sometimes lower. He hasn't been able to tell us why he refused to do some of his work. My daughter and her husband have tried giving him foods as if he were diabetic and he definitely does better . He now asks for good foods on his own. Can this be food related, other health issue, food or allergy related? He started out the school year with an ear infection and then two weeks later another ear infection and strep thorat. At first we thought it was because he was sick. We have tried taking things away, rewarding and the thing that has worked the best was the change in diet. He is scheduled to meet with his teacher, the principal of the school, his parents and the behavior specialist on Monday, October 6th. I know that they will try to say he has LD, ADD/ADHD or some sort of defiant disorder. This is not a troubled child and I am so afraid they are going to label him. Maybe his learning style isn't being addressed or some such other thing. Please help us to help him and to prevent a normal little boy from being labeled!!
Sincerely,
Grandma
