[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think the post above gets at the conflict that sometimes comes with SN parenting and parents who don't live this everyday.

I think judgy parents sometimes think these kids do the behaviors they do because they lack discipline, and disicplining them will get them to stop.

(And yes we don't even think your child did the action in this incident).

As the parent of a SN child who does, unfortunately, engage in inappropriate behaviours, I'm often torn between an intervention that takes into account the antecedent and incorporates an appropriate consequence, and feeling the need/pressure to show other judgy parents I'm on it. Because if I'm not on it, it must be my fault, right???[/quote]

You can be "on it," but still not want to put your child through a kangaroo trial and public humiliation.  I can't imagine parents who think that yanking a child in front of a crowd, announcing guilt without investigation, and publicly humiliating the child is an effective form of discipline.[/quote]
