You tell them what they did hurt the teacher, ask how they would feel if pushed.  And you have them apologize to the teacher the next day, end of story.[/quote]

+1  Getting sent to the principal from pre-k was a pretty big consequence already.  You should have reinforced that at home with a conversation about what it [i]is[/i] okay for him to do when he's upset (kick a ball, run really fast, take some time alone, whatever), but everything else is OTT.  This isn't a twelve year old.[/quote]

I thought this as well. Unless she was pushed into something or fell over and was injured , it just seems over the top. I would have expected a note home or maybe the guidance counselor meeting with him for a few minutes to talk with him about managing his emotions. But not a visit to the principal if this is the first time he’s ever done this. [/quote]

If this 4yo is at a daycare or preschool the only other person is a principal if you need to escalate. This sounds principal worthy as it's one thing for kids to push each other but another entirely to start lashing out at the teachers. If it happened again I'd expect this family to get bounced out.[/quote]

Seriously. How is it “normal” for a 4 year old to push an adult!??[/quote]
