Nursery hand over comment. Would you complain?

[Evelyynn]

Btw I’m not the parent. Or the nursery practitioner.

If your child was handed over to you, and the practitioner said ‘’we’ve had to have a chat with childs name today, as she hasn’t been using kind words to staff and has had a bit of an attitude’’. Would this be something you’d complain the manager about, the use of the word ‘attitude’? The child is 3.

Oh I think that’s ridiculous of your friend to complain about this. Honestly!!

I do not think 'attitude' is an appropriate word to use to describe a 3 year old. But the 'unkind words' definitely needs addressing, and the mum should be seeking more information on the 'attitude' her child is exhibiting and dealing with it.

You should advise your friend that her child obviously speaks in public the same she learns in her home.... and thats the fault of her parents!

On a high note..... backing their little Angel now, and refusing to change will pay off in the future.....
When as a teenager prove to be unemployable. Teachers have to work alongside bratts. Bosses wont be paid to contemplate it.... so get used to the idea of carrying this one for your lifetime!

Honestly, what's your beef here? If she was using unkind words and not being kind, surely you'd want them to talk to her about it?

Nursery leader has raised an issue. You either accept it and speak to the child or kick off against the nursery. They see hundreds of kids and Im sure they can tell “attitude” when they see it.

My nursery say things in a bit more child focused way such as talking back or asserting boundaries

No, I’d be having a word with the three year old for being disrespectful.

Of course not, your child showed unacceptable behaviour now you want to moan, easy to know where they got their attitude from.
