You should already have shared your equality of opportunity and diversity policy with the mother. The policy explains that, as part of a varied curriculum, you are required to support children's learning about their wider community, including other religions, cultures etc.
If the mother is not happy a procedure for withdrawing her child from various parts of the curriculum should already be in place which she can follow.
I am not a teacher but his is what happens in the local school where I am a governor... you might want to check with your school first
b. Heidis parents are delighted with the changes you have made in getting more resourses that feature samesex parents, they would like to get more involved in the life of the nursery ???
Great, brilliant, all contributions and suggestions from parents are gratefully received.
what kind of involvement would parents like? How can they be accommodated? Do they have any suggestions?
What about an assembly... circle time activity... ?
c. Oliver parents complain about you encouraging their son who has the beginings of muscular dystrphy to do physical activites outdoors with the other children. They say it is not fair and the other children will laugh at him and it would be no good for his self esteem ???
A care plan / action plan should already be in place for the child, written by their key person in association with their medical team.
This will give examples of the types of activities the child can / cannot join in with and extra support the child might need.
As part of this all other children will have been involved in group discussions about respecting and supporting others - maybe parents just need reassurance that their child has supportive peers around them...
Or is there a further underlying concern they will tell you about if you organise a meeting with them?
d. Caseys parents complain to the manager that you do not allow their daughter enough time to answer questions in class, she has a stutter and needs more time to speak without interuption from other class members ???
I have completed the rest of this unit then at the last minute noticed i have missed a whole page  I am totally flumuxed on these
