Teachers' Violence
-
Daddy
Asked around the school, no one confess to the \"hitting\", what to do? Little kids got \"light tap\" here and there is fine? Not to me, it's just the same as to confirm that hitting is OK
pampers:
So, if it's a 2.5yrs old boy got his hand hit by the teacher is ok too? (if off topic, sorry, but I need some input)
2.5 yrs old? Child care centre ah?
Depends whether the teacher can justify or not bah...
I cannot imagine handling a room full of screaming/crying toddlers... so I cannot expect the teacher to do what I cannot do...
Previously when my dd acts up for no reason... I will give a \"light\" tap on her hand... and she will cry liao. Nowadays dd (5 yrs old) is more sensible... will understand when we explain... so no need much disciplinary actions.

NO, I am NOT OK with it! Not for a stranger to whack my boy that's what I am trying to say. But because she is a \"therapist\" and her method to get the boy to stop crying is to shove him around. And she criticize me for being too soft. So at that time do I just walk out? But because she is a \"behaviour therapist\" hence I got confused too and just look on wide-eyed.
Now I am dealing with my emotions - is it OK for a stranger to whack my boy around? In my presence? To teach him to modify his behaviour? To teach him a lesson?
Is it OK for a TEACHER to drow duster full of feathers / chalk dusk at students to get them to behave? To teach them a lesson?
Is it OK???
If anybody were to whack my boy, it is ME, his MUMMY, not anybody else!LKVM:

So your boy stopped crying cos' u carried him for 1 hour?
Or after he got familiar to the room and the ST's instructions?
I think us parents usually don't like other adults to discipline our kids. -

Hi Hi,Ermm...So your boy stopped crying cos' u carried him for 1 hour? Or after he got familiar to the room and the ST's instructions?
I think us parents usually don't like other adults to discipline our kids.
My boy stopped crying after about half-an-hour and I carried him only for about 1 minute and tell him this is a new school and this new teacher is going to teach him to speak so please stop crying!
After half-an-hour, he got familiar with the room and the ST's instructions too and that surely helped. But I think no need for the ST to shove him around in the first 15 mins. (Don't like the man-handling).
After 45 mins the ST was talking to me and so my boy got a break. He calmed down and when the hour is up, he was smiling and seems as good as new! When his daddy came to pick him up no sign at all of the \"turbulence\".
Only left my maid and me in shock. I am still in shock until now.
The choice should be pretty obvious - stop going to this ST.
:stupid:
Signing off now everybody....I should be able to come to grips and decide on the next course of action.....

Surely there are more speech therapists around.
So chill , relax and think about what happened after a couple of days. U r really in a very emotional frame of mind now. after a couple of days, if you still feel ST is not riht one , find a new one.
just an advice, maybe you could prepare him for his session by telling him what he will be doing, and go 15-30 mins b4 his session so that he can be a the strange envi is not threatenning. He seems like a sensitive one like my DS. Maybe you do this already.
End of the day - a mom's gotta do what she's gotta do. -
Hi DesertWind,
:hugs: to ya.
Hope your DS has forgotten about the incident.
Agree with you that the ST shouldn't have treated your DS so roughly to the point of shoving him.
Agree with Sun_2010's sound suggestions.
Also agree that at the end of the day, mummy knows best, so go with what your instincts tell you.
:hugs: again.
