advice needed
Hi I would like to ask everyone's opinion on the following:
We have 12 new 2 year olds that started with us 6 weeks ago. One of our girls had hit another child last week and the key worker had pulled the mam about her. I said that I wouldn't of spoken to the mam as the girl was totally new to our setting (she only attends two three hour sessions a week and has had a week off due to illness), has no siblings or friends so wasn't used to sharing or being around other children. Her mam was so upset by the incident that she told her daughter off and took her toys away.
Today the same girl and another girl started fighting over a toy and the girl left a mark on the other girls face. The key worker spoke to the parent again who again was horrified. Now I am not sure whether the parents should of been told as are children aware of their feelings etc at 2 years old surely it would've been better to make a quick mention of it to the child and use positive praise to the child when she does something good? For goodness sake she is barely two ? or I am wrong and the key worker right?
