[quote=Anonymous]I think both of my kids are quite safe at home, school, extracurricular or camp. My oldest is at public ES & he has asd, adhd, anxiety, apraxia & etc. Because of his SN, I put him out there more in the world. So far, he loves school, teacher, classes, camps and almost everything. He tells me that he is loved, and he spends 10 plus hours daily at school (plus before care/after care). Friendship is the most complicated one, esp. for SN kids, that I think may hurt him. He has complicated relationship with a few boys at school these few years, and he learns to handle it by himself over time. I tell him that he has choice to ignore them, don't play with them, bring the issue to teachers, play with other kids, become say hi/bye only friends, or become friends. One become a friend, and one become not friend but they play peacefully at same team outside of class. He still has no close friends, but he plays with almost everybody now. I hear middle school maybe more harsh on friendship, I am not mentally ready yet. I am picky about extra curricular or camps, I spend a lot of time on research before signing up for my kids. Safety is number 1, and I don't tolerate bullying. OP, for your name calling issue, if my own kid cannot resolve the conflict by himself (by ignoring them or laugh it off or verbally fight back or tell instructor by himself), I will step in to bring it up to the karate instructor. DH says that I protect him too much, so I learn to step back to see him fail sometimes. [/quote]
