I have mentioned before that my DGC is autistic. There have been ongoing problems at school with bullying and name calling. I would be so grateful if any of you who believe would include him in your prayers and ask that the school support him and all those with special needs when the school term starts again. Thank you.

Doodle it is tomorrow the little chap goes back to school? I wrote the date for my angel box but assumed it was the same as schools in Wales, just remembered the dates are not always the same

And yours in mine Niggly thank you. I think all of us grans have fears for our DGCand can't bear the thought of them being hurt physically or mentally. Hope all goes well for your grandson.

My 11 year old grandson is starting his new school next week and although he was fine at his primary school, he is very small for his age, finds reading difficult, and is very slightly babyish and not very confident. I'm certainly praying that all will be well for him in what could be a daunting experience, and will be very pleased Doodle to include your GS in those prayers.

nankate. Reading this thread makes me realise how kind people are. There is so much unpleasantness and bad feeling in the newspapers.

I thank you for your prayers and will include you and yours in mine along with all others who have responded to my request despite having worries of their own.

Doodle I lit a candle and said a prayer for your GS yesterday, one for a friend with terminal cancer and one for my own family who are going through difficult times. ?

You are all so kind. Thank you.

Doodle I will indeed pray for your dear GS and ask his guardian angel to watch over and protect him every day. This is so distressing for you and his parents so I include you all in my prayers.

Remembering you and DGC in my prayers.

Doodle Mon 20-Aug-18 13:36:20

Thank you both. mini I will include your DGC in my prayers too along with all those who find life difficult for whatever reason. Glad your GC are doing well

I will too doodle, along with my prayers for my own DGC, all of whom are on the autistic spectrum. The eldest two DGS's were being bullied at school. They were only 5 and 7. My DD was sure she could teach them herself and removed all 4 of her children from school. They are absolutely blossoming now.

NanKate Sun 19-Aug-18 20:11:59

There will be another candle lit by me too. Keep going Doodle.

Doodle Sun 19-Aug-18 19:47:47

Thank you all. It means a lot.

Prayers said... thinking of you!

Fennel Sun 19-Aug-18 10:00:35

I've put him on my prayer list too. And others with those problems.

Thank you both.

mumofmadboys Sat 18-Aug-18 11:59:14

I will pray for your GS Doodle.

kittylester Sat 18-Aug-18 11:19:18

I don't pray doodle but I hope you will accept my best wishes and supportive vibes anyway. My eldest daughter works with autistic children.

Doodle Sat 18-Aug-18 11:19:13

annsixty I had no idea about your DGD problem. I know from your posts how precious she is to you and what a help she has been. I am glad she is ok now.

grannyactivist Sat 18-Aug-18 11:18:10

Added your grandson, and others mentioned here, to my prayer list. smile

Doodle Sat 18-Aug-18 11:17:31

glamma DGS does have friends fortunately but they too are bullied as they are all "different".

Doodle Sat 18-Aug-18 11:11:57

Reading your replies warms my heart. Newspapers seem to be so fixated on bad stuff happening yet you are all proof of the kindness of others.

DanniRae Sat 18-Aug-18 09:26:39

I too will pray for your DGS and all other children being bullied at school x

grannyqueenie Sat 18-Aug-18 09:02:57

It’s awful when a child is bullied in school, for whatever reason. Yes of course doodle I’ll pray for your boy, that his peers will see the loveliness that you see rather than focusing on what’s different about him. x

glammanana Sat 18-Aug-18 08:58:41

Consider it done Doodle it is such a shame children are so cruel to other children.
My DDs friend has an autistic son and he was teamed up with a School Buddy which worked very well for him,can the school offer such a scheme for your DGS.

Panache Sat 18-Aug-18 08:32:22

Indeed Doodle consider it done, bullying in any form is absolutely disgusting and something that should and needs to be stamped out on by these Schools.
