[QUOTE="dreamer, post: 32347, member: 1697"] I belonged to a church with an adopted child from another country who did not speak english, had no clue of social behaviors, and was quite difficult child, as well, prone to this high pitched wailing keening sounds, jumping on people and punching them, wild as a little banshee. He actually did hurt my son on more than one occasion, BUT..............it never occured to anyone to have a problem with him attending church. DUring the service itself, his sisters and parents took turns being his 1-1 shadow, and after church the congregation included him in fellowship and visiting in the foyer. My oldest difficult child and her mentor (hired by WRAP) attended church regularly, together......it was NEVER an issue for anyone anywhere....They attended both my family church AND mentors church for several years together. Having said that, tho, the church my sister belongs to, well, my sister anyway, and the other church where my brother is a minister, both of them have said to me more times than I can count that my husband, my oldest child and my son and me, none of us would have the "issues" we have if our faith were only stronger. Ironically, my minister brother is a brittle diabetic. (and my sister is a closet drunk) I am not certain why kts PCA would cause ANY issue? In the churches I have gone to over the years, occasionally there have been adults sitting with kids in sunday school class. - for MANY different reasons. Did PCA speak up and say things in SS class that conflicted with SS teacher? Is the course content in SS class too difficult fr kt to emotionally cope with? Is kt or mentor disruptive to the other kids, keeping and preventing them from learning their SS lessons? Have any of the other parents said anything to you about it? Could you talk to your pastor and see what the concerns might be with the SS teacher and the other kids kts age and the other parents? [/QUOTE]
