Our daughter is 4, and in junior kindergarten. Within the first 2 months of her starting we had a meeting with child aid services after the school called and informed them that I may be hitting my daughter. It wasn't the case, and it was obvious to the child aid worker when she came to our place for the meeting that there was no abuse of any kind going on in our home.Since then the school has seemingly done everything they can to try and label my daughter with some sort of learning disability or mental disorder...something that every specialist we've taken her to (after being asked by her school to do so) has given an emphatic no to.Despite this they persist. It's come to the point where I feel like they don't believe a word I say...and this is extremely frustrating because I try my best not to be the overprotective, overly defensive parent.And now we just got a call that a child aid worker will be stopping by our place tomorrow because the school called and made another complete. I know we have nothing to worry about, but still...it does a good job of making you feel like crap.I know our child can be a handful...both of her parents were at that age as well. And I know our parenting style may be a little unorthodox compared to the other parents...we try not to be overprotective and let her explore, learn, and grow at her own pace. She's a bright kid, and a keen learner...but I'm afraid if this sort of stuff continues she's going to loose that desire to learn.Sorry for the disjointed rant. Just trying to deal with this silliness.Edit: I realize in my emotional rant I really gave next to no info for those wishing to give advice/an opinion. Here is my response from below:Her teachers have always said that she does amazingly well academically, but struggles socially. She doesn't take social ques from the other kids, etc. She has gotten better over the school year, but she still has her days. We have been working with the teachers to help rectify this, but the main trouble comes from them seeming to want a label...a classification. They seem to be frustrated that none of the doctors we've gone to have been able to do that. One of them did say she may be ADHD, but it was far to early to make any such call.As for why they think I hit her...I haven't a clue. The first instance was a simple miscommunication. As for this time around...I guess I'll have to wait for tomorrow to find out. The trouble is they seem willing to call child aid services at the drop of a hat. When I think about it rationally I know that that is a good thing...but when you feel like you're being attacked it's not always easy to think rationally. via /r/Parenting http://ift.tt/2oZgM2H
