Hence the child was not controlled,I learned to avoid the family, but the mom actually contacted me and berated me for not exposing my children to hers. You never know what is going on behind the scenes, heck, the child may even be a new homeschooler, fresh out of public school. Sometimes you just have to use the moment to teach your child how NOT to behave.Ahermitthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12246307693236606434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15731253.post-39404726562739400952010-09-26T16:41:24.820-07:002010-09-26T16:41:24.820-07:00My son is usually the one acting out in a situatio...My son is usually the one acting out in a situation like that. He has Asperger's, so I tend to expect (or at least anticipate) some sort of "bad" behavior. And while I understand that he has trouble with crowds, noises, new situations, etc., I refuse to allow him to get away with being rude or disruptive. Parents of special needs children aren't doing them any favors by not expecting good behavior.Jennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15731253.post-29330626897305754942010-09-26T08:36:13.173-07:002010-09-26T08:36:13.173-07:00They looked like kids who were undisciplined and n...<i>They looked like kids who were undisciplined and never taught how to behave.</i><br /><br />Sounds like my oldest daughter's kids, except there's no "looked like" about it. They are undisciplined and never taught how to behave.<br /><br />In every other case of homeschooled children I know, the children are better behaved than typical same aged kids. I think the motivation to homeschool is usually that the parents want their children to have a richer, broader education, often with a religious element included, and to be able to advance at their own rate (usually faster). My daughter just didn't want her kids to have to suffer controlling themselves which virtually every school expects of children.DADvocatehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04621021178600799126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15731253.post-26735818060486154652010-09-25T19:42:39.106-07:002010-09-25T19:42:39.106-07:00Yes, yes, yes!

And even if you give them the benefit of the doubt that they have some kind of disability or disorder, their parent(s) should still step in and help them get their behavior under control. I say this as the mom of a mentally retarded 17-year-old. We call it "civilizing him." <br /><br />Great post!Barbara Frankhttp://www.barbarafrankonline.comnoreply@blogger.com
