Re: help with violent child - re parent needs help
Posted by Terri on 10/19/08
You can lead a horse to water, blah, blah, blah...
There is no question that this parent needs help.Unfortunately,
you cannot force a parent to take the help that is offered, which
it sounds like the OP has done. There are many parents who choose
to have children, but do not really want to take that much time or
energy to raise them. It is my belief and experience that most
behavior related issues is directly related to the parenting that
the student is receiving in their home life.
I feel for you, your students and this child. It sounds like this
child is SED -Severely Emotionally Disturbed. A regular classroom
may not necessarily be the best placement for him. Make sure you
document, document, document in order to get this child placed
where he needs to be and to maintain the safety of you and your
other students. Your administrator needs to be informed and back
you up.
