At the end of a playgroup (parents stay) session today another toddler ended up with a bloody nose apparently as a result of my toddler hitting him with a toy.
I didn't see it, I was running a group activity to occupy the children as parents tidied up. As soon as I realised something had happened and my toddler was involved I checked that the other child was ok, apologised, removed mine from the room, put his coat on to leave, returned him to apologise to the other child directly (which he refused to do), apologised again myself and then we left. Maybe worth mentioning my toddler has a speech delay and finds sorry a difficult word to say though he will normally try to mumble something.
The mum was commenting throughout to her toddler about the "naughty boy" and the "naughty thing" he'd done. She made me feel even more shit then I already did. Anyway was I unreasonable in what I did and how I handled it? What more could I do?!?
