Dear Paul
<< I think that it IS inappropriately invasive, you have not mentioned who
would have access to the story's that the children write, what
'confidentiality contract' the teacher has established or any of the other
things that we, as therapists, enter into with our clients - the issue, for
me, is analogous.
No contract has been set, there is no permission given not to undertake such
a daunting, no consideration ash been given for other individual
sensitivities for this potentially anxiety provoking exercise.
That your daughter is indulging in avoidance
behaviours is understandable and as far as I'm concerned to be
encouraged.
Thank you I did, I said 'look forget it' I will contact him tomorrow, this
caused some comfort and some embarrassment but I think she like to be
protected in this way. She is too young to handle this herself.
Fortunately my own daughters are now beyond that age;
however, I personally would have been writing to the school explaining
WHY my daughters would not be participating in the harebrained
scheme. Whoops, I meant the er ... harebrained scheme? 8-) >>
I have done that in a way, but a little more enquiring..after all I believe
we are all parents to all children
Thanks Paul
Diana
