DP continues to test boundaries, acting out in ways I can only assume boys his age are wont to do. Today I went back to school to pick him up for disruptive behavior. I am still wondering what the heck is going on and what kind of corrective actions are required.
But, wait! There appears to be an upside. The teacher said he is extremely intelligent, has above average math skills, and does exceedingly well at reading and writing. She firmly believes he acts out because he is bored. My reaction? First, my chest puffed out, that is my grandson! Then the chest went back to normal. He was acting out again. That is my grandson. What to do.
Familial pride aside: Just how intelligent is he? His mother went through similar situations in school and I later learned she was bored, too. So, since this is my "do-over" opportunity, what is supposed to happen next? Private school is financially out of the question. If I don't act now and do the right thing, there's gonna be a bumpy road ahead.
