When do you say enough is enough and hand it back to the parents.
Boy is 7. #1 and #2 accidents 1-2x/week. Happens at home as well. Dr says physically child is fine. I see some serious regression (as expected during the pandemic). School had serious concerns this year. Not able to sit, take turns talking, impulsivity. Teacher directly mentioned both anxiety and ADHD. Eval was 'inconclusive' (basically moms eval- no issues vs. teacher eval- all issues)
Now that child is not just b/a school and here FT for months... I concur with the teacher. CANNOT sit for a story. Blurts things out/interrupts/talks over EVERY child during EVERY turn. Behind on academics and social skills.
Can't wipe his butt.
Potty accidents, child attempts to withhold stool until he has a severe stomach ache, then there is this HUGE production. Crying in the bathroom, etc.
I have NEVER told a child not to use the restroom when needed. Kid is old enough to just lmk and run inside when we are outside. He often wets his bathing suit during water play and refuses to acknowledge it but "needs to change immediately." followed by tears. (clothes smell of urine, and I am legally required to bag clothes with bodily fluid to be sent home but he puts them in our laundry basket where everyone else puts their wet clothes).
Now that I am correcting behavior, making HIM wipe (then checking-----for now....) the child is crying at drop off. Mom is freaking out.
We REALLY enjoy this kiddo. He's sweet and kind, funny and smart. Creative and has GREAT strengths. I'm NOT saying terminate. Any ideas on how to handle it?
Mom is beyond a tad anxious herself and about lost her mind (and is now anti education, no distance learning was done AT ALL by them) that the teacher even suggested a problem with her perfect little man...
SOS, ya'll. Send help.
