We had a mother-child evening at school this afternoon.....So I was mingling with some old friends.....
I started catching up with the one mom regarding her grade 3 son, that I know for the last 4 years....knowing he has possible ADD or ADHD, from what she told me before......
She told me that this boy is struggling so much in school that she was even thinking of just taking him out of school(joking).....last week because it is no good any way.....She said he just struggles so much with reading, it seems like a waste of time! I asked her what the problem seems to be, did she ever took him for a speech assessment, exct. She then told me he gets Occupational Therapist (OT), ST, reading "therapy"....all of that at the moment! So I prompted further, asking her what the therapists says is the reason why he struggles so much......?
She says, she doesnt know, she never talks or interacts with the therapists, she is to busy at work, she is a accountant....She just ships him of to the next therapist.....cant remember anything regarding his assessment reports, doesnt even exactly know their names.....Just pays the money and leave it up to them!!!!! i asked her about the ADD....she says the psychologist didnt think its needed to assess for that! I saw her son for months at karate and told her I am sure he might has ADHD......?
How can a parent be so ignorant!!!!????? Doesnt she realize what she is doing to this child!? I dont understand how a mom can be so uninvolved in her sons live and wellness!?
