Behavior

We've continued to navigate some challenges with G's behavior.

Church has provided plenty of "opportunity" in this area.  G transitioned from the preschool room, where free play was the norm, to the K-3rd grade class, where the children get to engage in more learning.

Me: "What did you do this morning, G?"

G: "Iz so boring, Mama.  We's just learning about God.  All da time.  Every time.  Just learning about God."

He seems to feel that he already knows enough.  He's done with learning about God.

Most weeks, the children start in the church service with the parents and then they're dismissed to their classes, where they get picked up after church.  However when we take communion, the children are welcomed back into the service.

This hasn't gone so well with G.

Imagine the scene.  Everyone in the sanctuary has been solemnly preparing for communion.  Everyone is quiet.  That is, every except G, who suddenly bursts out:

"I WANNA GO HOME!  I WANNA GO HOME!  I WANNA GO HOME!"

Yep.
