    Flare replied to KKEGS's topic in School

    Yikes - he might have just been in the hospital but that doesn't mean he's ok or under control. That's like walking someone out of the ER, watching them get hit by a truck and saying "but you were...

    I don't have as big of a problem with the teacher calling the kids home sick than i do with the kids not liking my verdict and going to the main office and calling from that phone or bypassing me...

    ADHD Student on Rampage

    Flare replied to Amethya's topic in School

    So given that piece of info - the simple answer is no - the meltdowns are not related to him timing out of his meds. The teachers and staff would like it to be that simple - he melts down and all...

    When do you call home?

    Flare replied to mc3's topic in School

    agreed. If i made a 2 minute call for each of the 60 visits i see on average it would be 2 hours on the phone. Just for those little FYI calls which would irritate 98% of the parents receiving them....

    How do you tell your MS/HS kids it's only a cold?

    Flare replied to verdeacres's topic in School

    I agree - validate that feeling bad with a cold stinks. "Oh! having a cold stinks!" "I hate that" those type of things... but then gently break it to them that you can't give them any medications...

    Do you ever say "no" to an inhaler request?

    Flare replied to JerseyTomatoMDCrab's topic in School

    Yeah - this is a day in my world. My state only allows a child to carry their inhaler with MD sign off and parental sign off. Half the time I get the form back with the box either not checked or...

    Flare replied to OyWithThePoodles's topic in School

    YES!! It amazes me how kids will come in in severe pain, "get the rescue chopper on stand-by" type emergency because they knocked their knee into the desk and need ice but then drive by the park...

    Flare replied to lifelearningrn's topic in School

    no - i would not restrain a child unwilling to get a rectal medication. My guideline for diastat is that if you are aware that i'm giving it - then you're not getting

    Do you ever say "no" to an inhaler request?

    Flare replied to JerseyTomatoMDCrab's topic in School

    It's rare - but there are times that I do. I refused last week because one of my kiddos wanted it because she was just running in PE and her "heart was beating real fast" but when i listened those...

    Flare replied to Amethya's topic in School

    I am one of the few people in the school that is core team trained to restrain a child. And like OD said - I do it judiciously and in situations that need it. Child is a danger to self, others. But...
