Right.

So Finnegan had had and this is all, you know, uh stuff I'm allowed to talk about 'cause realize there is a ton I'm not allowed to talk about.

Mama children, they have made that very clear.

So Finnegan really had major organizational issues, um, real executive function issues, you know, we had had a ton of meetings with the school, we you know, it

I can't go into all of it, but believe me, it had been evaluated and evaluated and we had tried solution after solution and so

At a certain point, you know, he's at the point now where he's starting to get teased by other kids for being the kid who forgets stuff and the teachers are mad and everybody's just on us and why aren't we fixing this?

And he's nine.

And, you know, I'm learning a lot about the brain during all of this.

And I understand that executive function is nowhere near fully cooked at nine.

So I'm trying to be as patient as possible while be s being as sportive as possible.

And in the meantime,

he's left his homework at home or at at home, his math homework.

And I ca I know I can't take it to him mainly because well, there are a lot of reasons.

Number one, I I'm trying not to undermine his progress.

I'm try his teachers know I'm trying not to undermine this progress of, you know, becoming more responsible.

And they're really helping by working with him at school and holding him to consequences, which is what I've asked them to do.

And

So I don't take the homework that day 'cause I I just can't.

And so I wait at home and and it turns out that I'm so glad I didn't take the homework because so many positive things happened that day in particular because I didn't.

Finnegan came home.
