[QUOTE="DaisyFace, post: 381143, member: 6546"] Slynky-- Hello and welcome! As the parent of a difficult child - I would say that the absolute WORST thing you could do was to ignore the issue and/or "let it slide". If this child needs help or assessments - input from the teacher is INVALUABLE when it comes to finding answers. Teachers who are afraid to upset the parents or try to sugarcoat things do the child no favors in the long run. That said - stick to the facts and then let people know. Here is what you are seeing and here is when you are seeing it. Ask for input from the parents as well as your supervisors. Perhaps the child has a learning disability? Perhaps he has a form of autism/aspergers? Perhaps there is a medical condition affecting his behavior? Perhaps something is going on at home? And if the parents should bring you any assessment forms to complete for a doctor or therapist - please fill them in completely. Your observations will go a looooong way in pinpointing the issues.
