Shouted at nursery teacher......WWYD ?

[Mafrac]

DS shouted at his his nursery teacher today. Of course DH was bloody collecting him, so just apologised and said we would have a word with DS, knowing I am doing the drop off etc tomorrow.

Seemingly, she was trying to encourage him to eat his lunch and he stamped his foot at shouted No at her (standard fare for DS when he doesn't want to do something).

I enquire every so often how he gets on, and am usually told "oh he is mad as a brush, always up and about" but in a good natured way. I did press further and asked if it was usual for kids to do that, was reassured yes, and assured that he mixed well, and played nicely with others etc.

Anyhoo, I'm not sure what the teacher did to correct DS when he shouted but I have told him it is not acceptable, if you don't want to eat your lunch SAY IT, don't shout it etc etc and he will be apologising to Teacher tomorrow. I will ask again wha

So.........WWYD ? Is there anything more you whould do ? Or am I totally overthing this (standard fare for me).

P.S DS is 3 and does have tantrums, lots of shouting which we generally ignore. He achieves nothing by shouting.

I think you have done all you need tbh. You have spoken to him so he knows you back nursery up with this kind of thing, and you have asked him to say sorry to his teacher. That's fine, nothing more needed at this stage.

I work in a Y1 class and still have the odd child who will shoit at you if they don't like what they are being asked. TBH I wouldn't expect the parent to do more than that even at this stage.

Agree with Hula - all sounds like standard stuff and you have done enough.

yes you're overthinking it

they'll tell him to pack it in

you don't need to say anything else, they're used to it

I'm very reassured, thank you all for your prompt replies. I think DH envisaged a day of me going around and around about this .......can you tell DS is our first born ??!

I bet the nursery staff have not given it a second thought, honestly they all do it at some stage. My DS1 (3years) told the health visitor she smelt last week (she was here seeing DS2!), I was mortified, almost cried (blooming hormones), she gave me a reassuring pat on the way out and said, we've seen it all before dear, he just a normal little boy. (he did get punished for it obviously!)

Once it is dealt with try not to mention it too much or he'll cotton on the fact that he can get lots of attention like this (learnt that the hard way)

I really wouldn't worry. I work with 2 year olds and get shouted at all the time
It is totally normal behaviour and any good nursery practitioner would recognise it as such.

I probably wouldn't even bother telling a parent that a child shouted - I would deal with it at the time.
