When it comes to not being satisfied with support, services or school, so many parents have asked us this burning question, “should I say something?”
Our reply is always a consistent “yes”. If you don’t express how you feel how will things ever be improved?
Parents often feel like they’re asking for too much or that they should give it more time. Many parents have said that they don’t want their son or daughter to be poorly treated if they complain.
We have a couple of responses to that. First of all, it’s not complaining, it’s about improving and strengthening a situation. Secondly, if the people would mistreat their son or daughter after a parent expresses concerns, those aren’t the people you want with your child in the first place.
To share concerns or ideas about a particular situation we always encourage parents to pick the top 2 or 3 most important things they want to address, write them down, ask for a meeting and stay focused on what you want to discuss.
If we don’t say anything, how would we ever get better? Any other ideas?
