My daughter is being hit on a regular basis by a child in her nursery class. She is 4 and this child will be moving with her to reception so is either also 4 or will be soon.
I know this child does not have a SEN diagnosis, I also know his older brother is massively disruptive in class. His brother throws chairs, equipment etc around the class room, is generally nasty. (As a parent helper, brother hit me twice leaving a mark.)
So younger brother hits my daughter (and other children in the class) regularly. She has had a nasty black eye (toy was used ) and today has a large scratch down her forehead from this boy.
She says she tells the teacher (not 100% sure she does everytime) and he either gets put on the 'thinking mat' or if its particularly aggressive or persistent he's taken to the head.
She comes home most days telling me he has hurt her, I've spoken to the class teacher and the head teacher and I've been told that she needs to just tell him to stop or tell them so they can deal with it.
This is obviously not going to work as the teachers intervention isn't stopping this child's behaviour so why would he stop if my dd tells him to?!
My question is what can I do about this? As he gets bigger, he's going to be able to hurt my dd and the other children more.
His behaviour is going to be disrupting their education and she already mentions him as we walk into school, hoping he won't hit her that day.
What rights do these children have over this other child, how far can I push for something to be done or should we be resigned to him forever being allowed to 'think' about his actions.... its not enough and getting away with it at 3/4 is surely just going to cement the behaviour.
Ps. This has been ongoing since September.
Pps. Sorry for the massive post and thanks for getting this far!
