[quote=Anonymous]Listen to your husband and pull your child. I would also forward your incident report to the NAEYC agency.

My 4 year old has always been the strongest kid in the entire world. While he is normally well behaved, he has had several sit-in or stand-in type tantrums where he will stubbornly not let us pick him up. Think the strength of Pop-Eye crossed with a wiggling octopus. He is almost stronger than me and I can pick him up without leaving red marks on him. I would never just grab him by the arms or just under the arms. She could have actually hurt him.

The childcare provider lost their patience and did not know how to calm him down or even safely pick him up. She also sounds extremely unprofessional if she is commenting on his size.  My DS has always been 95% for height and 50% for weight. He is tall and has very long legs so his sizes were always a few years off too. My DD is a strong bean at 80% height and 5% weight and she has to wear sizes several years above for the pants to be long enough.

Even if your child has weight issues, this isn't something that the director should be making rude comments on. If she cares about childhood obesity, she could remove all the sugary crap that they serve in preschools and give the kids more outdoor running time. She could request that parents not send cookies or sugar in the lunches. There is not reason to make snarky comments to the parent.[/quote]
