Personally, I would rather you tell your friend to stay away totally but if she insists on going I would suggest she go to a different congregation. When I was DF'd I attended a new congregation and did not receive dirty looks. If anyone ever did make eye contact with me they would either smile secretly or just look away. I even had a few speak to me in the restroom when I was nursing my baby. That congregation is not treating her right. Not that disfellowshipping is right in the first place but I imagine she would be treated better in another congregation.

I don't know if the following book could help you but my son's good friend who is 7 years old was also a preemie. he was born at 25 weeks and is a healthy, handsome, likeable and smart kid. he is intelligent and does seem to have ADHD tendencies (very hiper/can't sit still and disrupts class, unable to concentrate for any amount of time on anything that does not interest him) and unlike your son he is overly aggressive (without realizing he is hurting other children). i'm not saying your son has ADHD but from what i've seen and heard, being a preemie can bring on it's own set of unique charactistics for a child. anyways, his mom read the book i've posted below and she said it has helped her allot to be able to work with him.
It's really hard not to know if your child is in need of help and if so what kind... We are currently going through some things with our daughter. She is overly social, talks too much in class and her mind wanders all over the place. She is very smart but tends to try to get by with as little effort as possible if it's something she's not particularly interested in. She's going through early puberty too so that may play into things. She's struggling not socially at school but academically and we are just not sure how to help her. It's such a balance to be struck between letting children be themselves and getting involved with trying to help them to grow into happy, healthy and social little people.
Hang in there Dad :) It sounds to me you and your wife are doing a good job parenting and you are being open minded as well (which some parents find it hard to do when it comes to their child).

I would love to be a Midwife, Lactation Consultant and fulltime mommy. I think working with couples through labor, delivery, childcare and breastfeeding would be a rewarding career. I had such great experiences and I hate the level to which medical invention interferes with others having great experiences also.

i guess if you were to ask anyone on a street anywhere in the world what they think is the leading developed country in the world, they'd probably say the us.
so with that in mind, here's some interesting statistics.... .

CASES INVOLVING MINOR BAPTIZED CHILDREN Serious wrongdoing on the part of minor children who are baptized should be reported to the elders. When the elders handle cases of serious sins involving a minor, it is preferable that the baptized parents of the young person be present and cooperate with the judicial committee, not attempting to shield the erring child from necessary disciplinary action. Just as in dealing with adult offenders, the judicial committee endeavors to reprove and restore the wrongdoer. However, if the young person is unrepentant, disfellowshipping action is taken.
This quote outta help if I eventually have to take my daughter's dad to court for "parental alienation"!
I just dare them to have me present if they try to ever df my minor child. I'll have them in court for emotional abuse so fast their heads will spin...

An Elder Told Me.... Many To Be Disfellowshipped Soon...
by Doubtfully Yours inan elder told me the book is jehovah's latest provision to cleanse his organization.. he said soon all people that have drifted, inactives, and others baptized and not complying with the biblical mandates for a jw, will be visited and given an option to shape up or ship out.. he said that if the person refuses the help offered by the congregation they'll be notified of the date of disfellowshipping and given time to appeal the decision.. he was so happy stating that this way jehovah's organization was preparing for the final clean-up before armageddon.
he sounded so convincing that it almost made perfect sense what he was saying.
i got goose bumps listening to his reasoning.. dy
