I’m bit tired of my son coming home from his preschool room and saying that a certain kid hits him, bit him or kicked him. They are now almost 3.5 and it’s been going on since they were two. I thought it would sort itself out because I know that age 2 is wild, but here we are a year and a half later.
The kid is extremely physical and big for his age and I think what I’m struggling with is the parents don’t believe in discipline. So every time he does it to my son, they just roll their eyes and use his name in a firm voice. On really bad occasions I’ve had to say “hey Bob no! You’re hurting Clive”. And I will snatch my son away.
So I was going to ask the Nursery about it. But I’ve asked them before and they just shrug and say that they haven’t seen anything in the room. I feel like I’m being gaslit. I don’t know how to manage it because I’m obviously not there at the nursery when it’s happening, but I’ve seen it happen at the weekend and on the walk home. The other kid sometimes puts his hands around my son’s neck. He thinks it’s play – it’s like he doesn’t know his own physicality. But I’m not sure what to do about the Nursery. They seems a bit blasé.
PS no my son is not really called Clive, don’t worry
