How do I help my DS?

DS has some difficulties - mainly with appropriate times for things and he is very black and white.

Tonight he pointed out a blister on his foot. I did the old 'poor you, I'll out a plaster on' then he got quite upset.

He said that today during Frnech he out his hand up to inform the teacher of said blister and teacher (its a specific one for French) said 'I don't care' (according to DS). I explained that during a lesson isn't the right time and he should wait.

He then said the teacher had told him to see her at lunch and when I asked if what they did at lunch he said he didn't go as he was worried she'd say she didn't care again.

DS is 6.3 and yr 2.

Any advice on what I can say or do to help him?

i think the best thing for a blister is to let it dry out so don't cover it, unless he goes out, in which case use a plaster.

Do not make what happened at school into a big deal.

I just reminded him about appropriate timings for raising issues.

The blister is not that bad Grin.

pixie Glad to read yesterday your DD is getting better. DS does remember word for word what is sia dto him its one of his 'quirks'. He's very black and white and followed me around the house yesterday turing off lights as in assembly the HT had said 'it saves money doing this and helps the environment'. Nothing like getting a lecture from a 6yo Grin

I just know what other things to say to him to get him to understand they do care but mean its not a good time to say it and get him to understand appropriate times to inform people of things.
