DD bitten at school

[KDEN]

My 5 year old DD’s teacher has just called and said that she has been bit. She is bruised and child is being dealt with a accordingly, she is going to tell me who it was obviously but WWYD?

Kids going through a biting stage is pretty common, I'm sure the childs parents are horrified. Just look after your DD and let the teacher deal with the other child/their parents

DD was bitten at nursery and also once at Primary school by a younger child. It happens.
It's often a response out of frustration rather than anything else. I'd expect to know how my child would be kept safe in future.
I did get told who bit DD but I didn't speak to the parents and just advised DD to avoid this kid if he was upset. He was just a little boy struggling with being at school.

I don't think they'll tell you who it was. In every school we've been in that information wouldn't be passed on. Although your DD may be able to tell you.

I'd just ask what happened and how they aim to prevent it happening in the future. Then I'd just reassure your DD that it won't happen again and remind her who she can go to in school if she feels upset or if another DC is upsetting or hurting her.

she is going to tell me who it was obviously but For OP - DD will tell her who it was!

Needs to go to A&E kids bites are worse than dog bites.

You do nothing, next week it’ll be your DD who has hurt another child, children all feral just letthe school deal with it.

I think you are right to leave it, my son 4 was bitten and my attitude was rather my son was bitten than he was the biter. I feel sorry for the parents.

My 4 yo ds one bit someone who got frustrated about her own artwork and decided she would destroy his because it was better, ds retaliated with a bite
School never told me.

I think OP meant her DD would tell her who it was.

My ds was bitten at nursery. They didn't even see it happen and only noticed when they took his t shirt off as was top of his arm.

He obviously wasn't bothered or he'd have made a fuss and they'd have noticed.

The nursery staff felt awful as not knowing who it was they couldn't do anything.

I was like most here. Realises it can happen - not ok but does happen with pre schoolers and reception aged children. I was also reassured the staff said they'd keep an extra eye open.
