I am looking for any ideas to help Braedon with a problem he is having. He has been attending a private preschool for almost 8 months and doing just fine. He would go four days a week for 2.5 hours. It is a school for children with special needs and typically developed children. Beginning the first of September he started to attend a public preschool two days a week and continued with the private school two days a week. There were a few changes made. The private school moved from a house to a facility, but with the same teacher and same children. He did fine the first day, but everytime I take him now he cries and yells.

He doesn't seem to be crying or yelling more at one particular school. He sometimes will cry for 30 minutes before calming down. He is absolutely beside himself and upset when I leave him there. I thought that the change has been too much for him. I thought that going to two different schools is too much for him.

Before giving up on the private school completely, I want to see if anyone has any suggestions? Right now, I give him a kiss and tell him mommy will be back to get him later and leave. Keep in mind Braedon has always had abandonment issues since he was born. He also has great difficulty communicating in words. He thinks differently then we do.

Maybe you have a child that has gone through this or you know someone. I'd love to hear any suggestions you may have. You can post it here or shoot me an email: kimasay@hotmail.com. It doesn't matter if your suggestions are from children with autism or a typically developed child. I'm up for any suggestions. It breaks my heart each day to see him struggle so much with this.
