Joey is making good progress but there are both good and bad days.  There are times when he gets a bit tearful about school - as in last night.  It is a lot for him, in terms of having to understand new rules and ways of doing things, and how much more is expected of him.  Mostly he gets on OK with the other kids but there are a couple of kids in his class who, whilst far from being bullies, are not overly nice to Joey.  But it is at least partially Joey's responsibility.  He wants to be liked, wants to play with all the kids but tries to insert himself too aggressively sometimes, gets frustrated when he doesn't understand what they are playing, and does not back down.  We are working on all of this but it will take a wee bit of time.
