[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can I just add the obvious, which is that this doesn’t apply when non disabled kids are waiting for the accessible swing? I have had parents come over to demand a turn for their kid on what is literally the only piece of equipment he can use, and there are other swings, slides, and climbing equipment available.

And before someone asks, the other parent watched me lift my kid out of his wheelchair into the swing, so they didn’t miss the fact there was a disability.[/quote]

No, it absolutely does not apply to you or your child.  Tell the parent “no”.  That equipment is not for their kid. [/quote]

+100 not only do you not have to cede the swing to a non disabled kid, but if my kid is using that accessible swing they are expected to give it up the very MOMENT a disabled child wants to use it, whether they've been on it 10 minutes or 10 seconds. [/quote]

Absolutely!  [/quote]

Nope. All kids need to learn manners and sharing. They can wait their turn as well. Scorch me I don’t care. [/quote]

If you’re from out of the region I think I may have met you once while I was babysitting my niece. I explained to your child that on the whole playground there was only one swing the little boy waiting could use, and she could use all of the other toys. She got off the swing. So if that wasn’t you, at least the rest of us know there is hope for your child to learn empathy from people other than yourself. [/quote]
