We have had two good days at school to which C got 2 stickers on his sticker chart for.
Then today went to pick C up as usual and notice C and another child being led out by the teacher. The teacher approaches the other childs parents first in the middle of the playground infront of all the parents and explains that C banged him on the nose at break. Before i could apologise to the parents they walked off home. She then explained to me that yet again c had hurt someone in the playground. Yet again flinging his arms around and not aware of the space around him.
i was yet again embarrassed and upset that antoher child has been hurt. She said c is completely unaway he hurts anyone and gets very upset. They have tried to be teach him to be gentle but he just doesnt understand. Im just waiting in fear of having some understandably angry parents waiting for me (to which i can totally understand as i would be the same). I have a meeting with the school tomorrow as his statement says that he should be supervised in the playground and taught social skills. I have been told by Cs 1on1 that he is watched by the dinner ladies however they cannot follow him around all the time. He is fine in class its just when he has the freedom.
I was more upset that this discussion took place in the playground and it just reinforced what the parents thought of C. I felt all eyes were on us. Cs teacher said that she did it in the playground to show to the parents that something was being done about the situation. However it made cameron very stressed and upset especially seeing as c did not know what he had done wrong.
I went to look around a special school in the summer and was convinced by his main stream school to keep him here as they could deal with him. Now i am not so sure and dont know what to do for the best. Stopping crying would be a start!!!!
It is hard when c doesnt know what he is doing or that he hurts people. His helper thinks that he cannot feel pain like others do which is why he is so ruff. The other day he clashed heads with another child, this time it wasnt his fault. He ran away and was quite happy that he wasnt hurt. After lunch the teacher noticed his eye closing up and going black. To which i was called to take him to doctors. he still said it didnt hurt. He doesnt even cry when he falls over and you know it must of hurt!!
Any advise welcome
