Hello, we have had a hard week with my ds. Recently moved house/ school/LA. Ds had been at his first school from nursery, aged 3, he is nearly nine, lots of support at the old school, but ds did have a few issues with his peers but on the whole everyone knew him through the school and he was accepted and liked. He is quite a happy child, he likes his own company and being with adults/ children he knows well.
New school, he is in a ms class, are trying to get support in place for him, his vulnerable times are when he is unsupervised, lunch/ break, changing for p.e, lining up to go into school. We have had a meeting with school about our concerns and I think they have taken our worries seriously. DS has had a few quite dramatic meltdowns. my dd who is in P7 is worried about him, she was asked to try and calm him down one day this week, which made me very angry - dd wants to comfort ds, but he wants to be left alone when he is upset, so she can end up making him worse even though she really wants to help. I just would like help from you lovely sn parents.
HT thinks the school children are all very considerate of children with sn because they have a base for children with sn, for children who need more support than ds- separate from the ms classes. So when we raised the issue of ds being ridiculed/ antagonised when unsupervised we got told " not in this school our children would never do that". The class teacher is more sympathetic, and more willing to accept that my ds is a target for some of his peers.
What can I do to help ds understand when someone is being a friend and when someone is ridiculing him? DS loves to make people laugh, and can be genuinely funny, but there are children who are laughing at him and not laughing with him.
I am pretty sure there have been threads on here before, but I am not sure what to look for, but would be very grateful for any links or advice.
