[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Be very skeptical of the self-reported incidents. Kids that age don't have a fully developed sense of time or accurate vocabulary. Preschool teacher story: One little girl told her mother every day that a particular child in her class "hits." After weeks of hearing about and getting more and more upset, the mom finally asked the teacher about it, and the teacher said that child in question had been hit by someone else once (was not the hitter) during the first week of school. No other incidents. The little girl just lodged that event in her head and talked about it all the time, say "hits" instead of "was hit". Plus the mom realized she had started to reinforced the narrative by asking about it every day.[/quote] I definitely agree with this - my son's self reports in preschool turned out to be wildly inaccurate. I know you've been getting some incident report so it is clearly happening sometimes but may not be as often as you think.[/quote]
