06-1-2010 - Thank You

My mood while writing this blog: Ok

Thank you ladies for all your comments and support about my situation on New Years. After a few days, I do know that I did the RIGHT thing. My daughter is most important to me and I would never want her to feel like that kind of behavior is okay or for her to let people treat her like that. My husband and I spent a lot of time talking about some things we would do differently at home as well, to help teach her how friends treat each other. I had a long talk with her and told her that it isn't right for boys or ANYONE to hit. I explained to her what she should do if that ever happened again with any child. She asked why I was crying and I told her how bad it hurt my heart to see someone do that to her and when she hurts, I hurt. We talked about reactive behavior and who are "good" friends are. The teacher told me that she won't play with him at school and I told them not to push the issue b/c she didn't feel comfortable going there yet and she knows I want to be around her when they are together. I told her if the teacher was there, it was okay, but she has no interest. We won't be going over there for a while.

It's sad that we as parents already have to worry about stuff like this at such a young age. I thought this started in like 2nd grade. I guess better to learn sooner than later.

Thanks again!

It definitely is very scary! I know from experience... My son was being teased in school when he was in kindergarten. This was just last year. I had approached the school teachers and principals. Apparently that was not enough! I was called one day at work and told that basically my son had been grabbed by the neck and pushed against the wall by a fellow kindergartner!!! I am crying still as I type this and its been a year! I went crazy... Yelling at the teacher and everything... It was so awful! I pulled him out of that school that day and he never returned! My son is the most kind hearted kid and would never put his hands on anyone. He is very social and wants to be everyones friend. We have sinced moved to NC and he is doing great in school and the kids in the school are great. The sad thing is these kids are learning it from somewhere. We cant always protect them from everything... But its our job to protect them when we see something or find out about something that puts them in any kind of jeopardy!! You are doing a great job and are a great mom... If only there were more of us, then our kids wouldnt have it so hard... Good luck hun

You are doing a great job as a mother and should be very proud of how you are raising your child.
