I talked to Lm's mother today. She was also very concerned about this. I discovered that she knew about this stage fright but didn't know what to do. As it is she is somewhat overly influenced by the Lm's horoscopic predictions that he will be a great singer, or actor one day. Formerly she had no inkling about Lm's talents but when I selected him for the Christmas play and told her about his acting prowess, she has now admitted him into a regular acting school which clearly shows how seriously she is taking the prediction.

Every time she sees me, she breaks into a praise for me; she appreciates me so much for this play because that is how she has discovered Lm's talent. She is so concerned for him to do well that she has also consulted a Homeopathic physician to give him a medicine to reduce his nervousness and to cure his stage fright altogether.
Yesterday she asked me how I could arrange for a professional video shooting of the play so that Lm's grand parents who stay in Austria can also see him perform.

And the funny part is no teacher in the school, not even his class teachers, has any sympathy for either Lm or his parents. They appear brutally brazen to me and take delight in ridiculing her anxiety and wishes.
I don't understand this. Every parent thinks like this so what's wrong in her wanting to record the play because her child is acting on stage for the first time?
Seems like many people in this school are in wrong profession here...!
