My daughter is ND, and gets interventions to help her regulate her emotions and anxiety in school, and recognise social cues, not get too overwhelmed, and to build resilience etc.
She came home from school and said that the teaching assistant working with her has asked about her home life, what do her parents do if she makes a mistake etc. She told me the chats are private and wouldn’t really tell me anything else, which is again fine, she has a right to privacy. DD’s attention span is short when she is engaging in an activity she isn’t overly interested in, so it is common for her not to remember much as well.
We have had to make a couple of complaints about dd’s MH safeguarding in school, due to some of the methods used/not used by a member of staff (think reducing her to tears for showing ND inattentive behaviours that she cannot help), and not following CYPS teaching recommendations/techniques to engage attention etc. I don’t want to go into any more detail in case it is too identifying, I will say that the incident is very close to the TA questioning dd.
We have nothing to hide, so involving our home life into dd’s interventions is absolutely fine, but I am not quite sure what it will achieve if we aren’t receiving any feedback. Is this maybe a technique as part of the excercise, I am a little confused as to how this will help? Surely it would be more productive if school spoke to us, to get on the same page, and let us know when if there are things we can do at home to better help than what we are already doing?
