[quote=Anonymous]Every time a teacher needs to wipe that child's nose, they also need to go and wash their own hands, and tell the child to do the same. For some schools, access to hand washing is not close by. So that could be one reason. I know that at my child's Montessori preschool there were lessons to get children to wipe their own noses. It wasn't perfect, though, with lots of snot still on their faces when I picked them up and I remember asking their teacher once why they didn't just do it for the child. The answer was they thought it was too intrusive to just wipe a child's face and that children should be allowed to have ownership over their bodies. They preferred to walk them over to a low mirror so the child could do it themselves. It definitely took longer for my child to learn this way, but in looking back I did appreciate the care and attention that teacher took with my child. It helped me be a better parent too.[/quote]
