[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Each year, 2-5 new kids join, with 10-15 in the entry year. If all of them faced challenges, I’d agree that there’s a broader cultural issue at the school. However, if it’s only one child struggling, the focus needs to be on that individual. If the parents are okay with the child being isolated, that’s their choice. But if a parent isn’t okay with it, and it’s clear they’re dealing with similar challenges but refuse to seek help, then there’s not much anyone at the school can do. No one at the school has the time or resources to act as a designated family friend, certainly not the class mom.

The question has been answered. MYOB was right.[/quote]

What do you mean that there is “not much anyone can do?”  The room mom could put the new mom on the group texts about planning class parties and invite her if some of the moms are planning to get together outside of school.

I honestly don’t understand what a therapist is supposed to do.  How is someone who doesn’t know anyone at your school or anything about the culture of your school supposed to help someone else get to know people there?
