My child came home with a bruised arm, when asked she said another girl did it, I thought maybe oh accident etc. Fast forward one week my child comes home with a banged head, teachers did not see it happen, when they asked my child told them a tree. I asked the teacher how it happened they said oh she didn't say... Meaning they didn't ask my child how it happened...turns out she said this child pushed her. Further to this when I was waiting to pick her up at by chance for the first time ever i decided to peer into the class room from the door, all the children sat and 3 teachers sat there singing a good by song. This same other child starts heavily throwing her elbows into my childs sides whilst sat, over and over again. When in the school I mentioned all 3 incidents now this includes the 1 seen with my own eyes.
The response I got was I am surprised as they play together. Now this is a very small pre school and on that afternoon she was the only other girl there to play with, and even if they do play this other girl is obviously getting how we are supposed play wrong at the expensive of my child. They couldn't stop saying I'm surprised, and that they hadn't seen it. Now my issue is I was there for a couple of minutes and never before have I looked in on the class and the one time I do I see it straight away. The teachers are there all day 3 of them, it's happening clearly as I've witnessed it, they are missing it? Yet I'm there by chance one time and see it.
The teacher said a class discussion about the subject of it will be had, but my question is if they had seen that themselves would they have a direct word with the girl, I mean gently but firmly nip it in the bud...is because i saw it and they didn't it doesn't count for anything?
P. S please don't reply with are you sure your daughter isn't doing it back etc, I am certain my child is not retaliating she is a very gentle natured, caring a quieter child, she doesn't have it in her.
Today I meet with the teacher on this subject to discuss my concerns, any help in what to ask, say etc welcomed.
I has taken all the joy out of what I thought was going so well, knowing this is happening. It may sound minor but any physicality like this being pushed etc can can do damage to a child if they fall and hit their head etc like has happened already. And I don't want this affecting my child as she has only just started school in sep.
