[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would flat out ask them "You say only negative things about DS every day when I pick him up. Do you have anything positive about him you can tell me?"

Maybe they don't realize the impact their words are having. Or, maybe stop asking them every day, especially in front of DS. [/quote]

This. We also had the biggest kid in the class and grew tired and frustrated by the perpetual complaints. I come from a family of educators and I was raised to always be supportive if the teachers so it was uncomfortable to push back but it got to a point where I had to. Initially I took the complaints seriously and allowed myself to feel the shame they clearly felt comfortable heaping on. But then I reached my limit and started pointing out that they never talked time with kindness about my son, why was that?  I would remind them that they are the professionals and asked what they are doing to help the situation. Don't let yourself become a place where they can heap on their end of the day frustrations. You are your son's advocate first and foremost. Ask to observe the class. See how that sits with them. Start talking to them in terms of what your son needs. [/quote]
