[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] [b] At my kids independent school, they really try to work with you, but the burden is on the parents to do outside therapies[/b]. But the school gives a lot of grace to kids who are already there - I have seen some pretty appalling behavior (including from my own child) and the school does their best to handle it. They do draw a hard line when a child gets physical with another child. You either aren’t communicating with the school what you are doing to try to solve the problem, or the school thinks you aren’t doing enough. If you think you are doing enough, then you should take their calling all the time as a sign this school is not the right fit for your child. [/quote] Yes to everything above. The school is trying to communicate a boundary. They are telling you that the current situation is not tenable in the long term. They keep communicating because they are trying to move you toward some sort of action. A lot of parents don’t “get it” during initial conversations. Others see a problem but are in the pre-contemplation stage of making a change. If you don’t currently have ideas for strategies that work at home that can also be applied at school, it’s time that you contact outside service providers. This can mean counseling for your child, parenting classes for you, remediating any academic issues that are leading to acting out from frustration/embarrassment, considering a change of school settings, or even considering medication.[/quote]
