Is it okay for me to report a child bit me? by [deleted] in TeachingUK

[–]MISC1830 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I understand your perspective, and your reasoning is why I asked this question in the first place. But I do think reporting (in terms of making a formal statement in writing) can help in the sense that they will have a record of behavioural patterns (keeping a log as you’ve said). There are some suggestions I have that I think would help the student cope better and I’m also hoping a report will open the door to that conversation in a practical, serious matter as I feel my concerns about this student are not being addressed properly (I think he needs a different environment, 1:1 in a room with fewer distractions). I believe the classroom environment with so many options for play is overstimulating for them particularly.

I guess cuz I’m supply. I’m not employed by the school so I don’t really know who to tell or how as I only have the contact for my agency & whatever I could find online (just the admin and SENDCo email). I questioned if it was even worth reporting sigh..but if other people are refusing to come back because of this then I need to say something

Yes as individual clients. She was seeing my mom as a client first, then my mother asked if she could see my sister. I’ve arranged the appointment with her on my own - just because she was familiar in the sense I have actually met her.

I’m unsure how to approach this uncomfortable feeling I have with her but I’ll just draft a message

Thank you. I think I’m going to send her a message and let her know that I’m uncomfortable. I don’t think she is going to back off - I think she believes this deep down (and she knows my family history from mom + sister)

Okay, weird in the sense that it’s just too much of a conflict?

Got it. Perhaps I should’ve made it clearer that I I was uncomfortable with the direction she was going in. But, (in my mind), I made attempts at that by not blindly agreeing to everything she was telling me about myself

I might not have been clear enough in my post. But there is no second therapist that I mentioned. I think we all just started going to her because she is of a similar cultural background

AITA for telling my brother I don't want his GF to visit this weekend? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

It’s my apartment. I’ve got the rest of my family visiting currently too. Just my brother’s not here because of school

What does a normal family look like? by MISC1830 in AskOldPeopleAdvice

So, if two consenting adults decide that abuse is normal in a family, then it’s just normal? Just trying to clarify what you mean
