To think nursery should not photo children fighting

[bumsnetto]

Hi,

My little boy has been at nursery since September. He's now 18 months old and still in the 'baby' room. The nursery does a photo dump each week with what the kids have been up to which is just sent via their app to the baby room parents, so a select few.

In amongst all the cute pics of decorating biscuits and reading and playing with plastic figurines, I was a bit mortified (horrified) to see that they've put a pic of my kid quite clearly biting another kid's head, like he's holding the kid's head in both hands. There are two pics of this.

I am surprised they photographed it rather than trying to separate the kids and I can't imagine other kid's parents will be impressed.

Should I ask the nursery if he is doing it frequently? They haven't highlighted as a behavioural concern but I'm pretty pissed off that they have chosen this photo to put in the dump when they could have just left it out.

Are you sure he's not kissing him?

At 18 months he's very young and it was the staff's job to supervise. So don't feel embarrassed. Was it a photo of just them? If there were a few kids in the photo they might not have noticed what was happening amongst all the photos. Strange if it was just the two of them though.

Were you informed about the bite, asked to sign an incident form?
Sounds like the staff thought it was an enthusiastic kiss?

Just the two of them. I mean it could be a kiss but I do know my son. He was (is still occasionally) breastfed and occasionally tries to latch onto my head when a bit tired. It looks like they've just homed in on this

No. Looking at the clothing they were wearing, it happened on Wednesday. My husband collected and they didn't mention it.

That's probably what he was doing then.
