I am going through the IEP process with my kindergartener and it is a lot. Reading the evaluation from the psychologist that outlines all of kid's issues - I totally agree with all the findings but its hard to see them written out in black and white. It makes overcoming them seem so daunting when in real life, I see signs of progress each day.

Kid is in a language immersion program and I tentatively plan to move them to an English-only school for 1st grade to remove an additional barrier for them. But they have a sibling also in kindergarten! So now we have to decide if we move both for logistical reasons - kid 2 will be fine either way but I'm kicking myself for not picking the "right" school for both of them in kindergarten (even though I went for our local, in bound school!)

Hope you recover soon!! Ugh.

On my mind. We decided to switch preschools this week. It was a hard decision, but felt like my kiddo’s class was expecting too much (he’s 2, but in a class with 3-5 year olds!) and giving “guidance” in ways that made us feel uncomfortable. It’s crazy how much work it takes to engage with resources -- an OT to see if intervention is necessary, researching new schools, touring, teacher conversations.

I’m exhausted but thankful he’s in a spot that seems to be like it will be a good fit. Sending peace to all the parents who have navigated something similar.
