you'd better hope yr friend never hears you did that. (not flaming, just saying, this is fraught.)
[ Reply | Options ]very easy to do it tactfully. "Our dcs are playing together so much at school that I fear MY son is keeping your son from making other friends in the class. I'm so sorry, etc, etc. I've been told it might be better for your dc if our dcs weren't in th e section next year since they obviously see each other so often outside of school..."

I have a dc with problems like that. It would have meant the world to me to have a friend really make the effort to include my ds. It's incredibly isolating. You feel like a complete pariah.

my dc's issues might not be as severe, but I feel for her. I've come to know who my real friends are. That's the good thing.
[ Reply | Options ]np: one of the worst kids I've seen recently is big for his age, pushes and hits unexpectedly, shouts I hate you and I won't listen to you, etc. the teacher doesn't handle him that well. I'm sure she's frustrated, of course, but she doesn't use distraction or rewarding the good as much as I think she could. this is a preschool coop so I am in the class regularly so I see this. the seit is also kind of eh. the kid ebbs and flows tho. overall I think he is getting better--it is not that way every day. he still has great qualities, even tho he has pushed my ds and my ds has expressed anxiety which obviously I had to deal with forcefully bec my dc feeling unthreatened is v v important to me. I certainly don't hate him tho I have had issues with him. I'm trying to say--it's complicated.
[ Reply | Options ]or: I'm part of the SN community, so I've seen a wide range of behaviors. IMO, that child sounds like he isn't in the right setting. It's very hard to find a good SEIT! My ds never had issues with aggression *thank god*. but still a major behavio oblem. It's really hard to deal with. I'm just saying that if it is your best friend's child, you don't just drop her.

OP: let me be specific with his "issues" because i have a feeling you are probably all taking it the wrong way. this kid is super brilliant, i've never seen anything like it, totally brilliant, can do calculus and speak latin fluently, they are 8 yrs d. He has such a superior attitude, looks down on other kids, tells everyone they are stupid and no one can compare to him. His mother included, who is my BFF, completely encourages him and appeases him and tells him, yes, everyone else is stupid compared to you

OP: the kid taught it to himself online!!! I'm not kidding, its really freaky but its tearing apart our relationship

Have you never heard of Latin being taught? It's taught in just about every good HS in the country.
[ Reply | Options ]np-of course I've heard of Latin being taught, but I haven't heard anyone describe someone as being "fluent" in Latin due to the fact that it's an ancient language and nobody is really certain how it's pronounced, because nobody has been able raise ead speakers of Latin from the dead.

np - Of course you can learn Latin online. And you can translate various phrases and sentences from real life into Latin. Not sure what you're saying.
