[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Last year, I chaperoned 2 kids and 1 is my own. I lost the other kid because he ran away without letting me know. Both kids were excited and hyperactive, and I couldn't have them stay together. I had to dump my own kid and went out crazy runnin to look for him in an open busy field. Luckily, I found him somewhere 20 min after. I was scared and I thought I was screwed.[/quote]

??? That's highly unusual. Usually there are a bunch of adults and everyone sticks together in the lower grades. Did no one see you? Where you only assigned two because they knew both of them were a handful?

I really hope you notified the teacher, because if the other child has trouble in school, and is a flight risk, it absolutely needs to be documented so they can be better monitored for the next field trip, and also so that the teacher can make the case for extra services and gently hint to the parents that their kid needs to be evaluated by a professional (translation: be put on meds). I have a child with inattentive ADHD, I've chaperoned lots of hyperactive kids, and the elementary stage is the worse, because it's when parents are not fully accepting of their child's need for meds. In middle school, they've accepted it and their kids behave better in school and on field trips.
