[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At my kids' ES, kids often volunteer during lunch to work with PEP and SCB.  So it's actually part of the culture, which is lovely.  My daughter tried, but she was beaten to it!  [/quote]

OP here. PP, this is the kind of school and the kind of students I would like my SN child to be around. May I ask - what school this is? I honestly would consider even  moving to a district like this in the future. I have other children and would want them to be in this kind of school too.

As for the PP who said her daughter prefers smart, well behaved children and would likely not go out of her way to show friendliness toward SN kids, I'm happy that your daughter is neurotypical to enjoy such friendships. However, I would ask how you would want your daughter to be treated if she were born with CP, DS, ASD, any special needs that clearly distinguishes her from classmates. If she sat alone on a bench while 80 children her age played at recess daily, would you want others to go up to her and encourage her to join them? Or would you prefer she sat alone daily? [/quote]

That's not reasonable to place that kind of responsibility on young kids to expect them to friend others and have them feel included.  That is the teacher's job.  Its great you are advocating for your daughter and if you do it at school it may help many kids but just to expect young kids to do it without guidance and support is unreaslistic.[/quote]

It is teh parents job to provide that guidance and support (i.e. YOU).  that is why the op posted.[/quote]

Thank you, pp. I am not asking for anything more than teaching children tolerance. One kind child can make the difference in another childs life.[/quote]
