[quote=Anonymous]It is very hard I've been there. But do whatever you can to get over feeling judged by other parents. Get therapy. Disengage. Ignore. Whatever helps to avoid their judgment. In preschool and early elementary I would cry knowing I had to interact with other parents. I let their ignorance cloud the way I helped my child. If I could go back in time the one main thing I would do is care far less what other parents ever thought of me and my kid.

For one, your kids will grow past whatever is happening now. For two, their kids are most likely not as innocent as they claim to be. But mostly for three, save your energy for things that help your child and help you.

I have a kid who threw his desk in 1st grade. I was mortified. I let my shame hinder my decision making and my care for my son. I know that it took longer to get him help because of my embarrassment. FWIW he is now in middle school and is doing extremely well (even though he still struggles socially and doesn't have many friends). Parents who know him in recent years tell me they wish their kids were more like him. He is driven, smart, athletic, and talented. And he hasn't thrown a desk in many years!![/quote]
