[quote=Anonymous]I would put it to the mother that it is too bad that school isn’t going well, as that must be upsetting for the child, as nobody wants to be unhappy all day. I’d mention that usually kids aren’t said to have truly designed issues unless the behavior is seen in all settings, which it seems like it is here. If you witness the child having issues on a play date or whenever, you could look concerned and ask if that is what the school is talking about. I’d also say that the parent might get a private evaluation from a third party who is not attached to the school. I’d bet that the mother recognizes that something is wrong but hasn’t come to terms with it. You could encourage her to accept the school supports and see if those “more qualified” teachers have a different point of view. I wouldn’t say or text anything in group settings, just privately with a tone of how hard it must be for the kid.[/quote]
