Especially entering into a new school in a place that has not seen the likes of G in over 15 years (getting all sorts of calls from all sorts of people with questions about G...that, frankly...well....I need to write a post.) But! I agree. With all of it. And it's hard! Thanks for inspiring me to write. I will.

And not just the BS of spending 90 minutes on introductions, but the idea of breaking out into groups by topic was the WORST. IDEA. EVER. wth? If a bunch of people with the same behavior issue get together (but people who have worked through it successfully with various strategies DON'T go in the group because it's not a problem for them anymore) how the hell does that help? How are you "sharing" ideas, hopes, concerns... and benefiting from such a unique opportunity to have so many perspectives in one room together? I. WAS. PISSED. And I let them know in my survey. <br /><br />Oh, and by the way, I agree with Alison.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16749431284192436424noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4561933350396407754.post-79101336637796263402011-08-26T00:33:47.427-04:002011-08-26T00:33:47.427-04:00I like Cate's idea!

I mean, I have never been to a conference before but the sharing session was something I was *really* looking forward to.

Our kids are people in the world, like any other kids, and they will sometimes act shitty. That's their humanness.Alison Piepmeierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17972854288403934814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4561933350396407754.post-53593077402143245832011-08-25T10:24:04.921-04:002011-08-25T10:24:04.921-04:00I was going to leave a comment on the behavior pos...I was going to leave a comment on the behavior post but I couldn't even formulate my thoughts. Just - I'm sad/angry/sad/worried/sad/guilty/sad about this too. We had a particularly ugly trip to the mall yesterday and...yeah. <br /><br />Let's propose a 2012 workshop: "Yes we love them but it's still hard, so let's cut the sharing bullshit and get down to crying".
