[quote=Anonymous]What about, "keep the four year old out of the actual service until he's ready -- which could be years (yes, YEARS) from now." That's what we did with my unmedicated ADHD sister in the early 1970s. Parents trade off attending Mass each week. My devoutly Catholic mother felt strongly that 'respecting other adults' ability to concentrate while they worship' was more important than 'mainstreaming and focusing on one preschooler's dubious "rights" to the obvious detriment of 400 other people each week.' I know the pendulum has swung and now one disruptive child trumps absolutely everyone else at all times, so long as that child is "special" in some respect. But I think my mom had it right. Trade off with a partner* * or ask a relative or neighbor for free childcare, or pay for 1-2 hours of paid childcare each week. [/quote]
