[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I also have a child with special needs, which are speech and language based.  He attends an inclusive SN pre-school with NT kids and kids who have much more profound needs.  Guess what - everyone there adopts an attitude of kindness and taking care of each other.  Couldn't you teach your children to try to be a bit more accommodating and kind?  These are your neighbors and he is a neighborhood child.  Try to take better care of each other.  He should not be bothering YOU, and that is a boundary issue for the care giver, but I think it is awful to teach your kids to avoid or ignore him - truly awful.  Have a conversation with them about inclusion and help them think of some ways they can all have fun. [/quote]

He is his neighbors grandson. He does not live in the neighborhood.

Maybe provide some guidance on how the parent or kids can deal with the child trying to ruin the other kids game because he doesn't want to play that game. How can they help him participate without changing what they are playing that the other kids enjoy?

It sounds like the OP tried to talk to Grandma and Grandma laughed off the Grandsons entering someone else property without permission. What do you think Grandma would do if the OP asked Grandma to help them with strategies to include the Grandson when he is attempting to dictate what other kids are doing?

It sounds like the kids have tried to include the boy but they don't care for how he plays and his behavior. Grandma doesn't seem to take the child's behavior is problematic and laughed off the OP's concern.

Instead of chiding the OP, try providing some strategies that your kids have been taught at their school that might be helpful. [/quote]
