[QUOTE="LittleDudesMom, post: 530701, member: 805"] [FONT=comic sans ms][SIZE=3]Quite honestly, it's not up to the school to decide if [B]you[/B] say something to mom1 or mom2 about your difficult child's issues. It's your choice to share or not to share. It is also not up to the school to share your difficult child's issues with anyone who asks. My son had serious behavior issues from 2nd through 5th grade (and to a lesser degree through middle and now high school). It was difficult for him to maintain friendships. It was difficult for other parents to accept him. He had two friends whose families cared and accepted him for who he was and we made that work. I was not interested in parents who judged my child. Children did ask me and the teacher many times why difficult child did this or that. I explained in a sentence or two as was age appropriate. Funny thing, my difficult child didn't really know what he was missing. He had one good girl friend and one good boy friend and I made sure there were plenty of out of school social meet ups and fun excursions. If you want to tell someone that your daughter deals with this or that, it's your business. I wouldn't be holding a class/parent meeting about it, but I would use discretion with only those truly interested in interacting with my difficult child (as opposed to someone just looking for some juicy gossip to share with the other moms at the coffee shop). It's a struggle we all go through on this journey of being the parent of a difficult child. Sharon[/SIZE][/FONT] [/QUOTE]
