Special Needs

I have another question...

We're a one car family and we can't do two cars. DH goes back to work next week and the shifts are different with mandatory overtime. While he was away for training I took ds to preschool. His class is going on a field trip tomorrow and his teachers were unable to get him to do the safety drills they practiced last week. He'd have to get on the bus to continue going to the school where he's receiving speech therapy. My other option is to take dh to work one day a week so I can take ds to speech therapy. His behavior overall has improved with going to school and he tantrums a lot less than he used to. I don't want to take him out of school but I don't know how to get him to not be afraid of getting on the bus. We've been talking to him about the bus and that makes him freak out. Taking dh to work is not something I'd look forward to doing because they be anywhere from 10-16 hours per day on shift. And it would be several hours before the kids and I normally wake up. What would you do? Take dh to work or try to force the bus and keep ds in school? Dh and I have been weighing both for the past couple weeks and are no closer to a resolution. The fear of the bus plays a big part in taking him out. But his overall behavior and speech side with keeping him in.

Re: I have another question...

  • Please forgive the typos and missed words. I'm on my phone and ds is currently throwing a tantrum which caused thought loss on my part.

  • Is there a public transportation or car pool possibility for DH on those days?  If not, I'd probably take him in so I could have the car while I kept working on bus acceptance for now.
  • Is there a way you can go with your LO on the bus the first couple of times?

    I already asked and was told no because of insurance liability.
