Hello
I’m posting both for advice and if I’m honest sympathy
My 5 year old ds is in reception and up until today has been doing well at settling/getting on in school. Teacher has fed back that he was well behaved etc.
Today I was totally sidelined when I picked him up and I was called aside and told he and another boy had been pushing a child who got hurt.
Ds said he was just playing but the teacher didn’t give me the impression that she thought that and he got an unhappy face stamp (for behaviour that’s not good) so I’m fairly sure the poor boy who got hurt didn’t think it was playing at least at the end. I was gobsmacked! He has never treated another child like that . At nursery he was very shy and only played with a couple of children and since being at school his teacher said he had been quiet but managed to play at break time.
We always model and emphasise gentleness in play and I always tell him to listen to others and to stop if the other person is sad etc but I’ve never had much need to correct him on that sort of behaviour because he’s never done it.
He has been on the receiving end of other children’s rough play before but never been the one doing it.
Don’t get me wrong we have other issues with being over emotional at home especially if he’s tired etc and in terms of reading etc he’s had to work hard but the one thing I’ve never had to worry about was behaviour!
My eldest is just about to leave the school and has quite literally never got anything other than happy faces everyday and is only now starting o be a bit attitudey with me bit I guess that’s hormones!
