Help me feel better. This week A starts summer day camp while I work (and then to get him out of the house while I am on maternity leave). Every Wednesday they take a field trip and use regular ol' big school buses. He took a couple trips in kindy, but they were on the shorter buses and those buses actually had lap/should belts. His teacher always sat with him or across the aisle from him because of his impulsivity.
I really don't want to make A a target his first week of camp to the counslers by going over his list of behaviors (none of them will harm other kids and I don't want them to read too much into normal 6 year old behaviors either). I am just a bit worried about field trip day. I know he can stay in the seat and not wander the bus. However, I'm sure he will try to turn around, bend down to pick up stuff he has dropped 16,000 times on the ground, and probably lean around the edge of the seat to see where he is going.
Do I request that a counsler sit near him if they can or go over (again) the basics of bus safety with him? This is a kid who still needs occassional reminders and pulling over to sit properly in his booster seat when his brother is in the car. But he has outgrown the harness on the Nauti. :crying:
