[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s hard without seeing the note but I think your reaction is a little off. To be honest I have a family member who has panic attacks and they are dreadful and miserable. If one of my kids saw someone having one as a result of their actions I would think they would be so upset and WANT to help. In fact my daughter was very indirectly responsible for a series of actions that set one off once and she was devastated. I think it’s odd the teacher feels the need to emphasize the panic attack - is your child not upset about this?

Sometimes you do something and the result is way worse than you think it’s going to be. Like if he had fallen and smashed a beloved item or something. I think you can emphasize to your son you understand this was not in any way his intention without making it sound like the only issue here is with the other kid.

Also, we learn from these things. This other kid probably doesn’t want to be touched at all, ever. And your son needs to not push people ever. Those things are separate from making amends, which I would assume would mostly be apologizing and maybe doing something kind. [/quote]

[b]The kid needs to learn to tolerate being touched[/b]. And OP son doesn’t have to stop being a kid and playing normally at PE.  OP’s son does need to learn to give this kid space. [/quote]

No he doesn’t? There’s no requirement in life to “tolerate” being pushed. How often do people push you, day to day? [/quote]

It sounds like normal rough & tumble. Yes OP’s child should be careful going forward, but a “panic attack” in reaction to a push is too much. [/quote]
