[QUOTE="DaisyFace, post: 383730, member: 6546"] WW-- I think the answer to your original question - whether to have your son do a reading and whether/how to educate people at the church....I think a lot of it depends upon the church. Some churches are like big families....in which case - why not let your son do a reading? A big, supportive, family-type gathering would be a perfect "practice ground" for standing in front of a group. Some churches are more formal...in which case - I would not let my child do a reading. Too much pressure before and after the event (if it didn't go well). Regarding the coordinator? You may be over-thinking her motives. She has planned to have the children do the readings. The entire class may be "chickening out" and cancelling for various reasons. She may desparately be trying to find the folks that cancelled - but can be talked back into participating. Remember - very few people enjoy speaking in front of an audience. So a great number of children may have gone home and told their parents they didn't want to/were nervous to etc etc...And a great number of parents may have begged off. This is not necessarily a Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) issue. It's a "human nature" issue. [/QUOTE]
