[quote=Anonymous]I work with SN children and work tirelessly to try to mainstream and make accommodations to classrooms and schools to ensure inclusion. However, a HUGE part of that is also education for the other children and yes, the parents. I don't give away your child's medical history but sometimes an accommodation may seem extreme or unneeded but a simple explanation usually clears it all up. Parents are parents and want the best for their children and understand and respect you want the best for yours. We can coexist in this world but to expect everyone to blindly smile and turn the other cheek to be spat on is not the way the conversation will move forward.

You are welcome to give your child time to 'figure things out' but you should at least communicate a basic statement to the mom/dad like "Sorry Joey splashed your child with the water bottle, he likes to get a reaction out of others and that is not Ok". Or "Joey really enjoys the rhythmic motion of the swing so I promised him 5 more minutes". Parents get it. 
 Then go talk to Joey, leave, whatever  you want to do to handle it.
