Mom of a 12 yr 11 m old boy8 years ago
Q.

My 4 year old son started LKG this year. It's been just 3 weeks of settling in. Today when I went to pick him up he was all tears and he said his teacher hit him. I then asked the teacher what happened and she said my son was adamant and did not put his bag where its supposed to. So she told him firmly this time and that made him cry. She didn't mention anything about hitting. Well, even if she did she wouldn't. He was also having fever when I touched him. The thing that bothers me is his teacher hitting him. We will be moving to London in couple of months so I'm not sure how to handle this situation at school. Any advice will be greatly appreciated.

A. Thank you mummies for your responses. I am going to meet his principal today. My son had a fever of 39°c when I checked him after school which was only 3 hrs settling in and his teacher did not care to inform me. Instead she has hit him and been very tough with him. I'm worried what would happen when full day starts. The other day he yelled at his dad 'shut up'. when I asked him where did he learn that it's wrong, he said that's how his teacher yells at everyone so it's not wrong. I also found the teacher was quite egoistic from the way she spoke. She told another parent that if child won't listen then he would see her other face. So I think there's a lot going on and I need to get this sorted before they rip his confidence.

A. Mommy i think you need to take stand for your baby without making him arrogant, its a delicate balance. I know the way we grow up we find teachers and school intimidating and we feel teachers are always right. Nowadays in all the modern schools rule is that teacher can't reprimand kids for such silly reasons. As suggested by Nikitha talk to your baby when he is calm and get the true picture. Maybe you can talk to his classmates also and get the true picture whether the teacher really hit him or not. If this incident happens again then talk to the teacher and principal and sort it out. Be firm and stick to the fact that she has no right to hit your baby, if he's behaving very badly she could have at least told you first.

A. Hello... In this generation hitting kids is seriously not good... I think you can speak to the teacher about it openly... Kids will fear goin to school if this repeats off.. I feel kid is too small to do anything the teacher tells... For which she can't be rude at the kid... I think it's not fair for the teacher to hit your kid... Speak to hod... Just get the right info of what happened from your kid when he is calm
