Question for parents with SN children

[MrsBojangles]

a boy with SN (not sure to which degree, but they are all learning basic sign language and he takes pictures home of his friends to learn) started recently in dd's class. I have no problem with that whatsoever and she actually makes an effort of going up to him first thing in the morning to greet him and he thinks she's absolutely fab

Will have a chat with the teacher also but was wondering whether the following phrases/behaviour ring a bell with anybody

DD (5 very shortly) and ds (2.3) were playing and as could it otherwise be fighting over the same toy at which point dd head butted ds. When I told her off and asked her why she did it she said 'I'm not very good with people' (she's a social animal!). Then she proceeded to get face to face with him and screamed at him and then me, carrying on about she's only good with the people in the evening etc.

I'm suspecting it might be something teacher has said to explain some of that boys behaviour. Could that be?

Any suggestions how I deal with my dd?

Sounds like the sort of thing my DS1 would do on a bad day (he is ASD, ASD (autistic) kids aren't hot at sharing etc). But it oculd be so very many things.

there are some good books about disability on amazon, stocking fillers perhaps? 'Don't call me special' is one of a good range, and DS3 has one about wheelchair users called MamaZooms.

blimey - she must have got that from somewhere - what a comment to come out with. Don't have sn children but do work with them - seems she has picked up some explanation of the childs behaviour and is testing it out - would discipline as normal and let it go. If she thinks has made any impression on you will use again! My son told me the other day his friend was an 'espian' (lesbian) - have just ignored it and not mentioned it again - but he must have got it from school.

Good luck!

thanks for the replies sorry fell asleep when putting the kids to bed

will talk to teacher today to see if they've been using those phrases

checked with teacher and they haven't used that phrase at school at all because that boy is actually quite non-physical and relatively sociable. So bggr me if I know where she picked that up from! Ah well, shall duly ignore and punish as per usual if she does it again. Which then usually results in her screaming 'so not fair'

Could be any kid at school- I often have to explain that 'sorry, he's asd and can't help it'.... maybe another parent is explaining to others that her child isn't too hot at social skills? Coz DS1 will happily clout other kids now and say 'I can't hel;p it, I'm ASD'

can't do right for doing wrong
