Just looking for some advice and whether I am overreacting and being over sensitive.
my 7 year old DD came home from school today upset (she has started back in Year 3) it had been PE which she hates anyway. She told me that her class had to run lengths of the playgroup and the teacher told them if they stopped or walked then there would be ‘consequences’ anyway she and another child did walk she says because she had stitch, so was therefore made to a set amount of star jumps with this other child in front of the rest of the class.
Im all for learning child lessons in life but I just feel unsettled about this with that fact they are still quite young and this could contribute to a negative association and the fact this was in front of the class. My DD is exactly like myself she is very tall for her age and her build much bigger than her peers not fat she is just built bigger. She has already had children in the past call her mean names and I worry this might encourage given she was up in front of everyone.
I am considering mentioning this to her teacher tomorrow What’s everyone’s thoughts please?
