[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Also very relevant: one time incident or ongoing issue? If it happened one time, I'd say "age appropriate" because 5 year olds are still learning and make mistakes and this would be a learning opportunity.

If it's happening daily or one kid is hitting another, specific kid frequently, totally different. First I'd be upset that it was allowed to go on this long (in a preschool classroom, ever single incident of physical violence should be addressed and discussed -- the kids need continual feedback on this specific issue.[/quote]

Occurs about weekly for several months with various kids. The director says it’s not disciplined because it’s developmentally age appropriate. [/quote]

What do you mean by “not disciplined”? I find it hard to believe they do nothing at all. if what you want is for the kid to be punished, then the director is right. Discipline does not mean punishment. [/quote]

I think punch in the face is visit with the director. 
The current discipline is just a little talk. [/quote]
