| my 3 yo shakes her money maker like she's a pro, and has a little song to go with it "shake your little body" or something like that. It makes me sick to watch her- first time she showed me what she "learned" in "school" I was so shocked and told her to stop immediately, but of course that make her do it more. she also told me that Ms. ____ taught her how to do it. I can totally see this particular teacher doing this thinking it was totally harmless, but seriously, she's dealing with 3 YOs! we are leaving this daycare at the end of the month anyway (for different but related reasons) so I'm probably not going to bring it up to the director. How do you get your child to stop doing something like this without making her feel ashamed or anything? |

Wow, I think maybe we go to the same daycare. Can you tell us the first name of the teacher or the initials? I was wondering if the teacher initiated this. I just spoke to her last week when my child came home with several phrases that really bugged me including this one.
It's not acceptable. To me this is a sign of a teacher with poor judgement. It should be brought to the attention of the director. When parents keep leaving without explaining these things it hurts the kids there that stay too. The director needs to know what parents are thinking or they can't act. The teacher needs a talking to. |

| I was shocked the first time my 3 yo DD did this but I think it was because I'd never thought about a child doing it. After I got to thinking about it, I didn't think it was such a big deal. Really, what's wrong with it? In the hokey-pokey it's called a "backside" and "you shake it all about". Times and terms have changed. |

| I taught my 4yr old how to bellydance. She knows how to shake her hips. I think its good for the body if you can keep your hips that loose. |

| There's an old time band in the summer place we go to. They play the hokey pokey every friday night and everyone from babies to grandparents shakes their backsides/hiney (it is referred to as both by the band leader). Lots of giggles but no one raises a fuss. I think maybe you are overreacting a tad. |

I agree that you are over-reacting. There's a great kids song called "shake your booty" on a kid's CD called "Ralph's World" that my kids love to listen to,and dance to.

is she smacking herself on the rear while doing this? issuing commands to "c'mon hit this" ??? then I think you may have an issue...
a little booty shaking really, IMHO is not a big deal -- as PPs have pointed out it's part of kids songs like the hokey pokey. |

LMAO. I agree, though. Unless the teacher breaks out the stripper pole, I think a little booty shaking is ok. |

| If this was shocking to you OP, then there's probably no way you will be able to get your DD to stop without making her feel ashamed of herself, because she will sense that you find the behavior shameful. Maybe her father can get her to stop? But I think you are totally overreacting. |

ROFL Thanks for the laugh. My granddaughter who is bi racial knows how to do the booty bump. Her GREAT Grandmother taught her how. My what a crime. I am sorry but I think OP needs to lighten up as well. Good possibility she learned a perfectly *clean* dance but to you it looks like the booty bump. Geesh, get over it already |

| wow I'm surprised that you all think I need to lighten-up. I really do think that at 3, kids shouldn't be sticking their bootys out period. call me a prude, but I want her to be inocent and sweet for as long as possible. I find it quite sad when I see little girls acting and dressing like obnoxious teenagers. |
