My ds (2 years old) goes to a nursery where he seems very happy. Over the weekend there were two occasions where I told him off and he immediately said sorry, then took himself off to a corner and sat down facing away from me. Once he then started to cry and lay on his front (I started doing something interesting to get him to come to me, which he did, and stopped crying).
When I dropped him off at nursery this morning I asked one of the staff how they were disciplining him, because this behaviour seemed to have been learnt somewhere, and it wasn't at home! The bloke I spoke to said that they don;t use time out, but if he has need to tell ds off, he PICKS HIM UP to bring him to eye level!! I said that I go down to his level at home. I have been stewing on this all day and I am not happy about ds being picked up to be reprimanded, it just feels wrong. Am I being unreasonable if I raise my concern with the nursery, or is it a bit of an odd thing for a member of staff to be doing? I'm really not happy about it. Do I raise it with the bloke himself, or speak to the manager?
