[quote=Anonymous]DD (7) has become increasingly anxious about attending school due to a classmates behavior.

This boy was recently moved to her home room because his previous teacher (new grade) was overwhelmed and DDs current teacher is an experienced educator.

It’s been about 4 weeks and DD is so anxious and having super difficult nights and almost impossible mornings.

We’ve asked her numerous times if this child had ever done anything to her and she says no.  It seems like she’d never been targeted but his behavior in itself is very triggering for her.  She is highly sensative and not use to loud, overstimulating environments.

From what we’ve gathered his behaviors are generally massive meltdowns that include screaming, crying, throwing items and forcing himself to vomit.  He had not reportedly been violent to any other students or teachers.

We spoke to her teacher about it and she seemed sympathetic and even frustrated by the situation but unable to do much.  She does allow DD and a few other kids who get stressed out by his meltdowns to sit out in the hall when this student acts out.

We just don’t know how to proceed.  Admin made it clear they won’t discuss the child with us which we understand.  This is just starting to negatively impact her ability to learn and her at home behavior.

I do feel for this child and his family but my first priority is my child.

Has anyone been in this situation?  [/quote]
