Well since September, we have had a few aides for Oatie. The first and 4th on was really nice, but her mother was ill and has now retired from the school year on compassionate leave, poor lady... feel for her with that.
The next was a guy, he was super happy but had a different idea of safety compared to me, like he'd put Oatie on slides etc... and that would be fine, but this was like a 16ft slide and metal and Oatie doesn't have the core stability like other kids his age not to fall back and smack his head.... he also gave Oatie a toilet phobia...
Then we have the temp fill-in from the school, who is the BEST so far, she has filled in on and off since September and Oatie comes back happiest he has a good time (safe) in the playground... and he goes to the washroom on the toilet not the potty with her and she is always smiling, even when she tells kids off apparently...
So Aide we go again... the worrying part is that they put the advert for Oatie's new aide out to parents, which might get another NAFF experience like we had when he was in preschool with a person who just wants some money,... rather than a person who has chosen a career path helping people with challenges which is a totally different thing for me...
The bad experience he had in preschool was a parent... all the nice aides he's had are all along the path of special needs of some sorts...
Well. sorry to hear about the multitudinous changes of aides...I hope someone good comes along that will be long-stayer; Oatie deserves the best! I just gotta a feeling that that right person will come along soon....
