[quote=Anonymous]I have a SN kid and non SN kids (I guess....all kids seem to me like they have some need that is special....). Anyway. I often use the phrase "I think Larlo is working on learning how to [deal with frustration/share/express his feelings/keep his hands to homself/whatever]. We're all working on learning something." I think kids get that--almost every kid feel that they are lagging behind in some skill (reading, math, soccer, etc.) and it helps to put this in the context of a skill that the other child is struggling to acquire. The same way that being bad at math is not a moral failing, a difficulty with certain social skills does not have to be a moral failing. I agree with others that it doesn't help anyone to take the attitude of "oh, Larlo has special needs and that's why he's a jerk"...it just leads to the kids shunning the SN kids. [/quote]
