I am a second grade teacher and what happens at home makes all the difference. Keep it up. You are all fabulous. <br />I am a mom too but in a totaly different category. I have a 21 year old son with Fragile x Syndrome. We placed him in a grouphome when he was 5. Even though it was hard and sad it was best for everyone. He is doing very well.
