New Social Workers

Post Reply New Topic

Have you ever looked at Dutch child welfare system?

In the Cape I noticed some of the social workers using this system and was wondering about a more widespread adaption, the current system is so stinky.

In discussion is ideas on disability certificates and home school rights, should we have access to home school groups who assist with assessments or schedule to help keep up the routine.
How do you feel governments should assist you?

End notes: welcome discussion on any police visits regarding meltdowns, autism and ADHD bad behaviour. (ie. My neighbour complains my child throws stones at their car, so his meds dosage is twice a day, then at night sleep meds)

Eminem should really try explain this to the people, it's transgression or change, we are opting for the abundant life, it's just not all about the money, anymore.

What is difference between a lovers quarrel and female melt down?

Do you sometimes have trouble understanding sexist jokes?

No, of course I have my meltdowns under control, works best when I live alone, I have less meltdowns, because less personal and in my face all day. So I had a rare meltdown in front of kids or rather because of them. It's not my fault, not ideal but it happens.

Ah, well we visiting friends on the farm, my kiddo stole our Choc chip cookies along with ongoing arguments on who finished what. So I lost it that day, the other packet of cookies flew across kitchen and me shouting about when selfishness would end.
Don't think mostly anyone really ever seeing me loose it, embarassing, sitting afterwards ND feeling I lost control again, that it's best to have my own space, less meltdowns.

Well unable to have meltdown aBout ex inviting all people to our house, I just one day phoned cops for them to check if all was ok, he loved to act to everyone like good guy and hosted one to many parties, even when we had no food.

But of all unspeakable problems, the one benefit is from me they learnt not to hit other people when loosing control, so one day I shook chair next to my mom's who'd gone over the limit, and hurled chair across room. Can be somewhat a release of anger to throw things, but not be violent towards people.
Gosh, if I was a young Mom with no autism handbook I have no idea what kind of role model I'd be.
Our end year school deadline is coming up, and I think give Kennedy and Vance space to see what good they offer! Wish everyone well

Once gain a social service record it remains in child's school file, irrelevant to which parent it was. So my ex left us with this and what annoys me is way teachers pick on every little thing, worsen relationship as opposed to intervening where necessary.
Another issue is it's supposed to serve interest of the child but that only works where people don't gossip and break confidentiality, and if it's supposed to leave us being viewed and treated as if we are trash?
For some the system works, but with some types of people they don't really care about child, easily send problem away,
So unless case is bad orphanage isn't good idea, it Rob's child of everything....

Of course that part isn't built into case where one can explain how a family was ostracised by social service trash record.

Best thing is to research discipline, recognise own weakness, prevent melt downs and hope not to have social service on your tail.
So I emptied out my savings, sent me boys to private school and applied to be on board for PTA, to prove to myself that I deserved better after messy divorce, to show everyone that situation was different from treatment I got.
