reception teachers home visit hell

Hello, I think I'm looking for a bit of reassurance really. I just had my ds's 2 reception teachers to my house to meet him and us. He is usually pretty well behaved with the occasional bit of naughtiness like any 4 year old. When they arrived he decided to act appallingly - hitting me in the face and shouting about wanting to watch ben and holly. it was, without a doubt, the most mortifying moment of my life. I took him into another room,spoke to him and he came back and said sorry and then engaged ok with them. will he be judged forever? will I? He goes to a private preschool and they tell me his behaviour is always really good and I suppose I don't want him labelled as naughty. Am I being bonkers? My sister is a teacher and tried to make me feel better by saying they would have been impressed by the way I handled it, but I'm almost certain she was just trying to be nice.

Muppet that made me laugh out loud (at work Blush)

You dealt with it really well, I'm sure they won't even remember by September!

TBH we've probably all been there, especially just after we have just finished telling our friends how well behaved the kids are Grin

Thank you whatinthewhatnow! I have been worrying and worrying about how our impending home visit is going to turn out as knowing my son, he is bound to do something similar (don't I have great faith! erm!).... Thinking logically and reading all these posts has put my mind at ease with the whole expectation thing and knowing that teachers will have seen it all and it is how you deal with any tricky scenarios that is important I guess :)
