[QUOTE="pepperidge, post: 79495, member: 2322"] Totoro, Sorry you had to have the discussion about wiping. And that the teacher wasn't more gracious. At my son's first Mont. school the teacher told me not to feed him things in the morning that would make him poop. We didn't stay with that school! We had a much better experience at the next one we wnt to, though. On your older daughter's teacher, I guess I would try not to let it get to me that that the teacher seems to be in denial. K teachers in my humble opinion tend to think they know it all, and that parents are the problem. Its pretty universal. Just be glad she isn't meeting you at the door each day with stories about how terrible your child behaved that day and telling you they need drugs immediately. My advice for what little its worth--spend your time building up a positive relationship with the principal and the school counselor if there is one--not necessarily discussing your daughter, just let them see you as a helpful, together sort of parent, interested in the school. That way if things deterioriate in the classroom, you will have forged a positive relationship with some of the school personnel that will matter. HOw is the school nurse? If you have one not born in the dark ages, it might worth a heads up discussion with her about your daughter. Since you have a teacher that isn't well-versed in serious psychiatric disorders, and isn't amenable, I would just shelve that discussion with her until you really need to have it. I have found even school counselors to be very uninformed. sad but true. by the way if your school allows it try to find out as much as you can about the first grade teachers. Often schools let you request a certain type of teacher for your child, and if you do your homework, you can often make the description pretty specific. A good relationship with the principal can't hurt either! good luck. how sad we have problems with the people who are in a position to help us and our children. LIke life isn't difficult enough with a difficult child. [/QUOTE]
