A counselor/nurse might be able to discuss these issues without it being super personal.Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09599912078704905243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1765781550870476423.post-73490448271650606622008-04-03T17:50:00.000-07:002008-04-03T17:50:00.000-07:00maybe having a school guidance counselor intervene...maybe having a school guidance counselor intervene is a possibility? Or a school nurse? Could it be done as part of a health or science unit and just matter of factly? Here are illnesses that are not choices? Somehow woven into the curriculum for discussion in as natural a way as possible without making your son feel singled out but giving the students facts at the same time?

That's ALL I didn't need to hear as I struggled through each day, each hour, each meal!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1765781550870476423.post-14324170879451667612008-03-28T08:41:00.000-07:002008-03-28T08:41:00.000-07:00Erica,I think you're exactly right.

I told N that I would talk to C's mom if he wanted. He definitely didn't want me to say anything. I think he feels so conspicuous already.Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09599912078704905243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1765781550870476423.post-6139514497204987672008-03-27T13:42:00.000-07:002008-03-27T13:42:00.000-07:00I am so sorry that this happened. can you talk wi...I am so sorry that this happened. can you talk with the mom involved? Often when people are confronted by real families undergoing a traumatic time it personalizes the situation and allows them to learn...just a thought.Ari J.
