And it probably doesn't help if I say that my son has made friends with a boy at school whose behaviors are similar (the boy in question just turned seven a month ago).<BR/><BR/>I'm at a loss as to how to deal with this kid, except I treat him like any other kid and he seems to withdraw less around me -- but a lot of it depends on the day, I think.<BR/><BR/>Hang in there.Susan Helene Gottfriedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12778191943289129869noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7629413949146506359.post-27518151405715683702007-03-17T19:20:00.000+02:002007-03-17T19:20:00.000+02:00Oh Robin-how worrying for you and Jay.

If I'm understanding correctly the compartments you speak of exist mainly at school as opposed to home where she doesn't feel the need to "keep up." Do they have any type of parent professional program where Maya could have an adult with her (maybe for a period of months until she became accustomed to communicating at the school level)to help her not to sink within herself? Someone to continuously pull her up as you and Jay do? <BR/><BR/>It must be so hard for you to see that "other" Maya who is clearly not your happy and bright little girl. Good on you for being proactive and seeking out solutions. You are very obviously a wonderful mama (and I've known you long enough to make that statement and to know it's really true)and Maya is a very lucky lil' girl to have you both in her corner.<BR/><BR/>I'm here if you ever need a friendly shoulder buddy OK?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
