I'm sorry you had to experience this. Please remember it's a failing of empathy and understanding on her part.

Regrettably we will always have to deal with this kind of thing in some form. She'd clearly decided that the children were going to do beads and clearly and regrettably didn't have the patience to listen to your concerns.

It is not right or fair but sadly something we all experience in some form or another.

Thank you Tom.i tried to solve the situation by asking to swap with a staff member who's good at that .The staff member.agreed but she refused saying it wasn't fair x

She refused? as in your manager refused to allow the swap of duties/activity?

Yes she did ,she said it wasn't fair.i explained I asked the lady who is good at beads and she was happy to swap but manager still wouldn't let me swap.

oh i used to get this from my manager too. being told it’s “not fair” on the other person who didn’t have dyspraxia. they always acted like it wasn’t real and didn’t care. that’s mean behaviour and unreasonable not to let you swap.
