►►► GAB'S UPDATES: I'm Going to Nursery School!!!

Last Wednesday, Gab's ABA teacher, T. Divine, advised me that it would be beneficial for Gab if he will enter nursery school or even a playgroup to get exposed to other regular kids of his age. Gab ever since has problems with socialization, or in kid's terms "playing along" with other kids. Often times, he seems not interested to play with other kids. Our neighborhood, made the situation worse because at home he's the only child and around the neighborhood there are no kids within his age range. His older cousin seldom visits our house, but Gab likes playing with her for the reason that he can make his cousin follow what he wants to do. So, it doesn't really help him learn new things.

At first, I thought of enrolling him in a SPED school, but after thinking about it many times, i decided not to continue with my first plan. My goal is mainly socialization and not academics as of now. For me, I think if he will enter a regular nursery class, he will be around regular kids who likes talking a lot and playing a lot. Maybe he could pick up or imitate some words and actions and behaviors exhibited by regular kids.

My expectations: Soon Gab will play, talk, sing, and do activities together with other kids. He won't be stressed anymore if he's in a crowded place. And, he will be more independent just like other kids.

My fears: He will ask me to carry him the whole time inside school during the first weeks (hahaha!). He will cry when irritated or bored during his first month at school T_T. And, he will get other kid's things and get into fight (LOL!).

GAB'S ANGELS: Please include Gab in your prayers for fruitful school days ^___^.
