banging the table scared my daughter

tbag

My daughter has just got her statement with a new school that has specialist provision for autism to start in september. In the meantime, she has a home tutor that is funded on medical grounds. The tutor seems like a nice enough lady, she visits for an hour a day. My daughter finds a whole hour sitting at the table with her a bit much sometimes and it gets difficult to maintain concentration. Today when my daughter's mind and gaze began to wander, the tutor banged the table! This really made her jump. I didn't know what to say! It's a bit embarrassing, I don't want to make an atmosphere, as I have to let her in to my home every week day! But I am not happy about it. Any advice would be much appreciated! Or am I making a mountain out of a molehill?

  • She is from a service funded by the council for children who are not at school for various reasons,medical,behavioural, emotional etc. Some of the children she works with have been expelled some are in and out of hospital. My daughter is signed off of school as an 'anxious school refuser'. She is year 7 and became suicidal because of the transition to high school. She was formally diagnosed in the summer holidays aged 11! My daughter was very well behaved in school,she just suffered in silence.
