[quote=Anonymous]Thanks.  op here.  i saw the exchange.  The 3rd grader has special needs, not sure of her exact diagnosis - not my business.  She called my son "the meanest kid ever" when he touched something she had been playing with (but which wasn't evident).  He just walked away (we were on our way out anyway), but then almost as an afterthought (of after he processed it), he looked back and said, "I'm not the meanest kid ever."

I asked him how it made him feel and he said sad. but I told him that it certainly wasn't true, that she was just upset about the toy, and that she probably didn't really mean it since she is usually very nice (overly social) to my son usually.

We all have our parenting styles, but I'm not going to tell my kid to raise every incident like that to the teacher.  We all need to learn to let minor infractions roll off our back;  I'm also trying to teach my kid some empathy.  Now if it becomes a pattern, that's different.  My question is basically how to raise special needs kids with my son.  Thanks for the resources.  I will look at those.[/quote]
