I actually feel lucky to have a daughter with SEN's

[mummyloveslucy]

The more I see of other 5 year old girls, I'm beginning to think I'm lucky to have a daughter with SEN's. She is so loving and innocent.
Some of the girls at school are starting to be a bit bitchy to her, I only know this as she coppies phrases they say to her at school. She comes home and says things like "You're not allowed to sit there Lucy" in a very bossy tone. they also talk to her about things they know she won't understand, then laugh at her. She laughs with them though. She dosn't understand that they are being mean.
I'm going to speak to her teacher about it today.
All the parents seem to boast about how well their children are doing at school etc, but I'm definatly the luckiest parent at that school.
Wouldn't the world be a better place if everyone thought it was o.k to hug strangers, have no inhabitions and wonder what spiders webs actually taste of ?

I know what you mean to an extent: ds3 is very similar, incredinbly loving and an absolute joy with not a dot of malice about him.

Now, that has to be qualified by how much of an SEN / Sn the child has: DS3 ahs severe autism and despite a highisj IQ won't ever attain independence so on balance I don't think he is luckier for his nature, and I would choose a cure over his SN like a shot, but I would be sad to lose a lot about my very special little boy and I dont' see how any NT child caould be so quite without guile or limitation of affection in the way ds3 is.
