[quote=Anonymous]How old? 2-3 this is very normal and will likely pass. If they are 4 then both children really are a part of this dynamic as you said, pulling toys from kids without asking is also problematic. Again, within range of normal but 4 year olds generally are able to realize they shouldn't grab from others or take a toy when it appears another kid is playing with it. But the school needs to help your son with that and set him up for success. For the child who is hitting, I would ask the school about shadowing. This is difficult for schools but is also what they should be doing, trying to rotate another assistant in there for example so the child can be shadowed and help prevent these incidents.

I understand why you are upset. But the child also likely should not be removed from the program. They are also a child trying to learn and it is the school's job to give the supervision level needed, some kids need more as they learn these skills in preschool (may have adhd that is not diagnosed or other developmental needs if we are talking more the 4 year old range). That doesn't mean its okay, but they are a 2-4 year old needing support not removal.

Continue to encourage your child to give space to the other child and play with others for right now. "It sounds like when you and x play it can be hard for both of you, and it sounds like x may really be having a hard time right now. The best thing you can do is be kind to x and give him space" [/quote]
