This week The Little Man had the opportunity to go and play some neon crazy golf with a youth social club. With him being out of school we try to take up any opportunity we can to get for him to spend time with other children, or just to get out of the house.
It’s not been the best of weeks for us with appointments and sickness. It was even sadder when The Little Man had to miss his School of Rock because his Dad had to be somewhere else. He did enjoy the Crazy golf though, it was a fun evening out.
I have been frustrated with the Little Man this week though. I know it was an awkward week but The Little Man was even more awkward. He only wanted to play computer games and was not interested in doing his work. I did lose my temper a little with him during the week. But we worked it out together. I guess some weeks are just not calm enough to work. We will keep going though.
I phoned the school we’ve applied to, I was told I’d get a call back. I haven’t as yet. But they didn’t call me back last time I asked. I have also e-mailed them twice with no reply. I am not filled with confidence that we will get a place, or that the school is the right place for him if they can’t even respond to my simple requests.
There are other options, I just need to find a way of accessing them. In the meantime we will take up opportunities for mixing with other children and getting out of the house. Next weeks trip is to Cadbury World, but I may skip that one as he has been there often and as the places are limited we don’t want to take the place from a child who would enjoy the experience more. I will contact the co-ordinator and ask her.
The Neon Crazy Golf was fun and he needs the social interaction. I will continue to find him things to do and focus on his education when he is willing to co-operate. We need to strike a balance. This Home Education is not easy, especially with an autistic child.
It looks like he had loads of fun.
It’s a shame your Little Man isn’t too keen on doing his work. I remember during the lockdowns I had lots of arguments with my youngest. That isn’t good that the school you applied to hasn’t got back to you, it’s not a good sign is it. x
The neon crazy golf looks like a lot of fun and it was great that your little man could enjoy some time with other kids. I hope you find a good school for him soon. The school you mention doesn’t sound very encouraging if they can’t communicate well with potential students and families.
Oooo that looks like such great fun. Our kids have just got into crazy golf, I’m hoping to take them during the Easter holidays. Thanks for sharing and linking up with #MySundaySnapshot.
