Ds is 3 and has been at preschool since the start of September. He's finding it generally ok but today the nursery assistant had a word with me when I picked him up.
Apparently this afternoon he hadn't had his listening ears on and had run off rather than sitting down on the mat. He also went to water play without an apron. He had time sat on the thinking chair, which is appropriate and fairly common practice in nurseries.
However, the assistant said that he is also not going to be allowed to play outside tomorrow morning with the other children. I don't know how long this would be for-I plan to find out tomorrow morning. Instead he'll be sat on the thinking chair.
AIBU in thinking that this isn't appropriate punishment in that it's the day after so will have little affect and it's too big a punishment?
