Dont quite know how to deal with this. About 2 weeks ago, when I collected DD (who will be 4 in April), she kept saying her ribs were hurting. I had a look, the area looked a bit red and was sore when I touched it. I asked her if she had hurt herself. She told me that one of her classmates had pushed her. I didnt ask the nursery because I thought that she and her classmate may have been playing and kids get all sorts of bumps, so I thought nothing of it.
On Monday DD came home with bruises on her chin and cheek. I asked her again if she hurt herself, she said that the same child pushed her in the garden and she hit her face (they have a little garden in their playground).
This morning DH went in to ask the teacher if they had noticed the incident. The teacher was not in today. One of the teaching assistants said that they hadn't noticed it but they would keep an eye on the kids, which I found slightly disturbing as thats what they are supposed to be doing anyway.
When DH went to collect DD this afternoon, the assistant called him in and told him that DD has suddenly, only today , been hitting the other children. He asked if they had had compliants from any of they parents about DD hitting their childern and the staff said no.
I now dont know what to think as i have asked DD if she hit anyone, and she said no,that she had a very good day at school. They use a thinking chair(timeout) and she always tells me when she get sent there. She was not sent there today. She got her stcker as well, which they only get if they are good. She is usually a really well behaved child at home and at nursery.
I'm just wondering why is it, that only today they noticed DD is hitting the other kids? Just so conveniently at the same time we were questioning them about the bruises that my daughter has come home with twice. Please advise me if anyone has been in the same situation.
