Making cards - Ideas (part 5)

rainmac

WBR, no baby yet or any sign that he will be making an appearance soon My boys are sooooo excited about becoming cousins and don't understand why he didn't 'pop out' (yep they really think it's that easy ) on his due date. Well done to you on going to SW, you are far braver than me, I haven't got on the scales since Xmas but know I should

louby - I'd arrange to go into school to see the head and ask if the other child's mother can also be present. If they aren't keen to take you seriously, tell them you are taking it further and complain to the education dept that the school comes under. Regardless of whether the boy has a problem or not your son should not have to worry about his safety in school. You could also mention going to the local press to highlight the problem if they are not interested in doing something to stop it happening again.

Oh bless you, hope you and he are ok. I don't think you should feel that you need to tread carefully. Your son should go to school and feel safe and free from harm. I know there's always a bit of rough and tumble in the playground but this is so much more than that. Do you know if the child in question has a statement, i.e been recongised as having autism/learning difficulty etc? The school has a responsibility to keep pupils and staff safe so I think they should be monitoring this boy more closely than they are, more supervision of him at break times so he can't be violent. Hugs to you xxx

We believe he is in the system as such and outside help shall we say maybe involved but again we are not allowed to ask or know about this. Last time we were told he had lost his lunch time play for a week and to have compassion for him and his mother
We were only told that because i had a very heated chat with the head.

Today i kept my cool and played it by ear. I don't think anything more will be said to us. The school seems like they don't want to admit they have this child that they can't handle.

I want ds if he is ok to go to school 2moz as i don't want him to be scared of him and i want the school to see how bad he looks too. But i am worried if he knocks it or if he gets him again. It just breaks my heart my baby looking like he has done a couple of rounds with mike tyson. He is only 5 bless him.

Oh Louby, I hope your little one is ok, and things are dealt with by the school, as they should be. I have in the past had the same issue with a boy picking on my youngest and 3 days out of one week I was rung to say my son, had fallen and hit his head in the playground. It turned out that he hadn't fallen over he had been tripped on purpose. In the end the school were very good and sorted it out, and the boy concerned was dealt with by the head with his mum present. After this my son had no more problems. The trouble is that every school seems to approach this problem in a different way, and I was lucky that the school took it seriously. Hugs to you and your son xx

Marg - hope your MIL is ok.

Well done Arty on getting your card on the Crafty Ribbon site - it is a stunning card. I knew I shouldn't have looked though, as they have their ribbon packs on sale for £1.00 each and 4 have just checked out, and are winging their way to me. Do I need 36m of ribbon? Probaby not, but they look so pretty :rotfl:

Louby Lou - That's such a shame about your DS. Hope it all gets sorted xx

Louby - so sorry for what's happened to your son. Don't ket the school fob you off with "the other child has problems blah blah blah" - if he's got that severe problem that he can't interact with other children without causing them physical harm, then maybe he shouldn't be in main stream education. Harsh I know, but your son has a right to attend school without feeling fear or risking harm. Personally, I'd make an appointment to see the head and explain this point to him/her and ask what they intend to do to ensure your sons safety. Also ask for a copy of their policies. If you're not happy with their proposals/explanations then explain that you will be putting your concerns in writing to them and will be copying it to your LEA. I hope you get it sorted out, at five they are just babies still and what happens in these formative years can affect them for the rest of their lives. x

On slightly different note does anyone know what happens when you order something from QVC which is on offer, the package then goes missing in transit and you have to re-order and the price has gone up substantially? I'm wondering if I've got a rubbish operator or wether I'm being unreasonable in expecting to receive a replacement item at the price that I originally ordered it at??

Louby I hope you manage to get everything sorted with the school - your poor DS.
