Most children are getting ready to return to school or they started last week, and I have happen to have some concerns. My son is starting Kindergarten and he will be attending class for a full day rather than half a day, as he has done the past 3 years. He has special needs, so I am unsure of how he will handle the transition.

Don’t get me wrong, I have met his teachers as well as the other staff members that will be working with him, and I am pretty confident he will be well taken care of. His private duty nurse will also be accompanying him, which makes me feel more at ease. However, my son tends to have behavioral issues due to the fact that he is non-verbal and cannot express how and what he wants.

Then there is the issue with his sleeping patterns. He suffers from apnea, in addition to being visually impaired. This affects his sleeping habits – causing him to go long periods without sleep or sleep during he day and staying up at night. I just hope that I won’t be receiving frequent calls asking me to come and get him.

I pray he has a productive year, and I wish the same for all of the other students around the world, healthy and otherwise.

Goodnight 😴
