Guest guest Posted April 25, 2010 Report Share Posted April 25, 2010 Ok, I have a question for all of you. My older daughter is starting school this year, and it got me to thinking about when Catalina (aka Tina) starts school (next year). I hope this question isn't inappropriate and doesn't offend anyone. If it does, I apologize. I'm just trying to think ahead and figure out the best way to stop some of the teasing before it starts. When my Tina starts school, should I ask her Dr to sit in on a class for an hour or so, and answer any questions the other kids might have about her? Would that be inappropriate? Do you think it would benefit her, or hurt her later? I want her classmates to understand that she is normal, just like the rest of them, but her eyes are just a little different. I also don't want her to feel like she is some sort of " circus side show " that has to be explained to everyone, and there is a part of me that thinks having her Dr come in and talk to the kids about it might not be a good thing. But then I think maybe it would be a good thing, because the Dr might be able to explain it to the kids better than she can. I'm kind of torn. I see pro's and con's to both arguments. What do yall think? I will ask this same question on the Facebook group as well. All input is welcome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
