[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I also have a child with special needs, which are speech and language based.  He attends an inclusive SN pre-school with NT kids and kids who have much more profound needs.  Guess what - everyone there adopts an attitude of kindness and taking care of each other.  Couldn't you teach your children to try to be a bit more accommodating and kind?  These are your neighbors and he is a neighborhood child.  Try to take better care of each other.  He should not be bothering YOU, and that is a boundary issue for the care giver, but I think it is awful to teach your kids to avoid or ignore him - truly awful.  Have a conversation with them about inclusion and help them think of some ways they can all have fun. [/quote]
Teaching children to be kind is important. However, don’t teach them to be inclusive at all costs. They are children and should be able to express and pursue  their wants and needs as well. [/quote]

This. I’m so sick of steamrolling NT kids under the guise of “inclusion.” My kids aren’t allowed to mean, but I don’t force them to play with anyone.[/quote]
Oh FFS. The kid is visiting, nobody is asking them to be their BFF. If your NT kid can’t be compassionate and learn to accommodate other kids then you are doing a poor job of raising them. [/quote]
