Negativity

So I have mentioned before to a few folks, and also on Facebook that I was told that Jared was hitting in Nursery. First of all it surprised the heck out of us, cuz he didn't hit, at least not here not that we see. Secondly the leader told me that I need to tell him that hitting is not alright. Like I don't say that already. The thing is he doesn't hit here. If I see it I say something and act on it.

What makes me mad is nothing was said about the other boy who pushed Jared so far he flew 2 feet and hit the wall. Someone in the family saw it happen through the window. I don't want to make excuses for him, but seriously, maybe he was getting back at that kid.




Today Aaron saw the leader again, and the whole hitting issue came up again, and all that was said was, "we have never had violence in our nursery before and it is not okay, you need to tell him that hitting is not okay". Seriously VIOLENCE! My son is not violent.

I think we are going to have to arrange it that someone is watching what is really going on in there. He hasn't been back since that 1 Sunday, so who knows what will happen this Sunday. I'm not happy with the fact that he has been labeled the "bad child, the trouble maker and the bully".

This is ridiculous. Maybe you'll need to sit in with him one week to watch what really goes on.
Good grief, if Jared is Violent, what does that make Logan in our nursery....?

This is probably the silliest thing I have ever heard! Even when us "big kids" aka adults are playing rough with him he doesn't get mean or fight back he thinks its a funny game. I haven't seen him hit since before he could talk, so I'm having a really hard time believing that he is violent!

I heard about this. Hope it goes better this Sunday. I know we're not around you guys much, but I don't remember him hitting my kids and they were together all day long for a few days there!

That's frustrating! I can't imagine. My little Emma hits us at home and we put her in time out and luckily she hasn't done that at nursery that I'm aware of. I could've been self defense like you said. I hope it gets figured out.

Maybe you should have someone sit in that isn't your family that you trust to see what is really going on. If he is hitting then he might act differently when you are in there because he knows your stand on it.

Leighton has been bitten in nursery, collided heads with another child, steals another childs toys, but I would never consider this violence. It's normal toddler behavior. Sounds like you are being singled out. I would definitely get some spy eyes and check out the situation next Sunday. It's not fair to Jared...I bet he loves nursery.

Your little tiny Jared a bully? I highly doubt that. And I love your mom's comment about Logan. Hopefully yyour nursery leader will chill soon.

Well, color me stunned! I have a REALLY hard time believing Jared has a violent bone in his entire boy body!! Definitely have an unbiased third party watch; sounds like the other kid is the violent one. Sorry you have to deal with such negativity...keep us all posted.
