It's mine

Just a few days ago, BJ's teachers were very concerned that BJ does not speak at all in class, and were astonished to hear our wonderful story that he talks at home.

As an aspiring psychologist to be, I understand why selective mutism was the preferred choice of his day. I probably can explain through a deficit autism model of neurological disorder, and blah blah blah.....

But perhaps, his "still water" runs deep. Hehehehehehe..... every conversation / feedback from his teacher tells me something. You cannot not communicate. (Must thank my gurus and mentors at Eaglesnest for teaching me that -- if they are comfortable with me calling them mentors)

First, he told his friends to have a "quiet mouth" when they were too loud in class. Hey, I didn't teach him that. Then, he claimed his teacher Helen as "his" (It's mine) when a classmate tried to interrupt. This little bunny is just slowly showing his true colors.

These are true joys in life.....
