He was adopted from Ethiopia when he was two. Both his birth parents had died after his younger brother (also adopted by my sister) was born. Things seemed fine until he began kindergarten last year. He became defiant, started lying and was acting up in school. My sister finally realized that he was upset about going to school when she and his little brother were still at home. Once she got up the courage to talk to him, he admitted that he would lie in bed at night and think about his birth parents. <br /><br />She took him out of school and began homeschooling, and the behavoirs improved dramatically. He's in public school this year and is doing great. You can skim through her blog to find some posts on this - http://tobuildafamily.blogspot.com/<br /><br />I think you're on track doing the co-sleeping and skipping the gym to be with your daughter more.Shirlee McCoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10662958794531584917noreply@blogger.com
