[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No playdates for now.

My kids are teens and tweens now, and I've seen that happen often. It's not until you refuse playdates that the parents understand they need to do something. Perhaps it's ADHD, sensory seeking, or just lack of consistent rules at home, I'm definitely not judging either parents or child! But you need to avoid them until the child matures and is a little easier to get along with.

You need to alert the teacher, and explain that this is your neighbor and that you know the parents are hoping the school will do "something" instead of doing the hard work themselves. Well the "something" is that the teacher should be meeting with the parents and giving them advice, but of course you cannot say this. If your child is shoved, file a bullying form right away, so that the school has a clear mandate to act. The parents will not know who filed.

If this is a disorder like ADHD, and the parents are in denial about it, it will take many long and painful years until the problem is addressed. If this is just a little age-related boisterousness and the parents are willing to engage, things will calm down within the year.
