Hi all.
I had (what I thought) was an odd chat with a colleague today. I've been teaching for 3 years and I've always used pet names with the kids.
Hun, lovely, my love, darling, chicken, sweetheart, etc. It's just my personality (and use them with adults too!)
She says I ought to put a stop to it in case it 'gets me in trouble'. I've never had a parent, child, or colleague object though and genuinely don't see what could be wrong. I obviously use their name too, but generally might use pet names in the manner of:
"Miss Honey?" "Yes my love/darling etc"
Or
"Could you grab that for me sweetheart?"
Had anyone ever come in to trouble with these? Should I stop? Don't think I can help myself!
In year 3 if that helps.
Ta.
