[QUOTE="Mattsmom277, post: 310287, member: 4264"] My difficult child would have freaked. He's not one to want anyone to know "his stuff". Seems your son is sending that message. For that reason alone, I would say no. I would also state your concerns about a "general" topic in the classroom since you realize it would be obvious to the students that they are referring to your difficult child. I think in a situation with tics (from tourette's etc) it would be a possibly simpler process. I don't see a need for other students to know his business when he doesnt' want that. Truthfully, kids can be mean. I doubt having that knowledge would change any teasing. My easy child actually gets teased in ways difficult child never got teased when his behaviours at school were beyond the realm. And my easy child is a good student, well behaved, fits in well (seemingly). I can't see it helping your difficult child when he doesn't want his information shared. I also think that if the teacher plans a "general" conversation that is spurred by her good meaning intentions to assist the students in understanding your difficult child better, she should be asked to not do so. It would be different if many children in the class have obvious issues. No singling out that way. Regardless of how its handled, I do hope that your difficult child finds a peace at school. Being a kid stinks on a good day in this age, with the way kids can be such buttinskees! [/QUOTE]
