Why more parents dont take their childrens health more seriously is beyond me. They are guilty of abuse and neglect should they blindly follow the prescriptions of a 24 year old teacher or school social worker who know nothing about the child.
My grandson is so smart he scares me. Yet my daughter has allowed him to be poisoned by drugs because the teachers "find him disruptive". He probably belongs in a class for advanced students but of course there are none of those in this school (supposedly an excellent one) because it would make the students not in an advanced class to have injured self esteem.
I have expressed my sorrow for her and her child for the world they will be living in by 2040 or so. She has no idea what I am talking about.
Don’t give up on your grandson. You should still try to encourage his mother into finding better solutions for him. You can be an advocate for him. I won’t tell you how to approach your daughter, that isn’t my place. I do believe, however, that you can be a positive influence and you might be able to bring about positive change in his life. I pray that you will find something to help him.
