Just wondering what schools should be doing to keep children safe when it come to behavior. Yesterday, my daughter had an amazing day, but the last 2 lessons, after lunch, she had a few wobbles, she took her staff's radio and wouldn't give it back so they left her with it. And at the end of the day she took another staff's coffee. The staff attempted to get her to give it back but she wouldn't so they tried playing a game with it. They said, 'how about you hide it under the porter cabins and then she'll have to find it' but she wasn't falling for that trick. They wouldn't let her leave school to go to her taxi unless she gives them back, which I completely understand.
Then someone opened the gate and she ran into the car park, where her taxi was waiting. She then stood on the gate, talking to staff on the other side, and her staff tried pulling her down because then she tried to do a runner. It then turned into a mess, her being held, teachers injured, because she was kicking, punching, biting, all the common things she does and then she started head banging on the fence and on the floor and they got her weighted blanket and a pillow but my daughter chucked away the pillow and was head banging again. And two staff were sat next to and next thing, she's kicking off again so everyone has to move away. And there it was, my daughter lying on stones, weighted blanket half on half off, one shoe on, one shoe off, just head banging whilst the teachers are just looking. Why didn't they put the pillow under her head, or tried to comfort her. I know they had an order to back away because things could've turned ugly but now she has a headache and a bruised head.
I spoke to her last night and she told me that when she's in that situation, it physically hurts her body, it is painful and she wants the pain to go away, that's why she was stomping her feet, banging her head, and attacking staff, because her body was in pain, it always is in that situation. My heart just broke. But what can the school do go help? Leave her lying hurting herself more than she already was. Just stand and watch. Her taxi was also waiting to leave and her taxi driver was even nicer than the staff, making sure she was alright and checking in with her the whole journey home. He's lovely but the staff, I understand but I still don't
I’m sorry your daughter is having such a difficult time.
I take Bachs flower rescue remedy, this really helps my anxiety my stress and gives me an all over peace kind of feeling. Ive also tried bachs cherry plum which helps with anger, aggressive outbursts, frustrations. These remedies come in liquid dropper that drops 4 drops in your tongue or your can place the drops in some water. You can also get the rescue remedy in the form on a sweetie.
We've tried the rescue remedies, the ones where you can put it in a drink and also the gummy ones but there was no change and didn't really help at all. Thanks anyway.
