hello all. i have just had my sons report from school. i am glad that he is making progress and everythin. im just confused with that one bit says it in. it says that my son can dress and undress and manage his personal hygine with adult support. when i was reading down the page it then said that my son can take care of his personal hygince on his own. i kno he struggles at home with wipping and he is using a potty still. he has developmental coordantion disoder and he dose struggle with his socks and buttons and sometimes his shoes and when he gets dress he is all twisted so i have to sort him out. i have seen him on one time that he went to the toilet on his own and then his teacher asked did he go to the toilet and wash his hands and he said no and then his teacher said you dont lie so i know people still have to watch him i have to watch him at home i have to stand outside. i dont know why they say one min he can manage his personal care but then they say at the begining that he needs adult support and he dose at home and when he is out of the house.

it could mean that with some encouragement ( telling him to go wash his hands for example) he can do these things on his own compared to a child who is still in nappies or doesnt know when they need the toilet and end up waiting too late. if you not sure just phone up the school and ask to have a word with the teacher unless you are going in for his review soon and can ask then, congrats on the rest of the report bet u really proud

i am very proud he has made so much progress. i know at home he uses the potty still wont use the big toilet. and have to say wash ur hands quite alot. like when we got home he went to the potty but never washed his hands and when i asked him to he kick a right fuss up with me. and when he has a poo he dosent do one much in school think hes done one once thats it but he gose and dosent tell me he has untill i see it up his bum and legs not nice to see but then i have to wipe him because he cant see it. i think its a visual thing with my son to be honest. i have parents eveing tomorow so i will ask them,. just things like this play on my mind

we had probs with matt not washing his hands but i got some squirty soap in a penguin bottle so i dont say wash your hands i just say go use penguin and off he pops lol i wish it hadnt taken me till he was 16 to get him to wash his hands he went with mark the other week and he had forgotten his radar key so used the mens and because the automatic hand wash wasnt working he ran into the ladies, washed his hands and came out which made mark worried as he couldnt follow him in

aww no. im after on of those keys for my son as he dosent like usisng the toilets in town he gets anxious so he either uses nappys when we go out or he holds it in which he has done it in the past. i get middle rate dla for him at the moment but i dont think much has changed in his u still have to encourage him to use the toilet and to get dressed. its hard because i have to other children so its hard at the mo. its his behaviour just waiting on cahms now. school say he isant paddying much but they know layton so they know how to deal with him if he dose. i know im going of the subject but i have noticed he was bitting my couch i dont know why he is doing that i think he might have sensory issues aswell.
