[quote=Anonymous]You shouldn’t leave your kid with SIL anymore, it’s as simple as that.

One because she hit your kid (though unless you make this a huge deal in front of your kid, there will be no lasting emotional damage, so don’t let your kid know how upset you are).

Two because your kid isn’t well behaved enough at this point to be taken care of others.

It’s time to reflect on your parenting to see if your word actually means something to your kid. If you say it’s time to go and your kid knows that if she plays for another 20 minutes you won’t make her go. If you say no cookies and then after some whining you give her a cookie. If you say bedtime is 8pm and somehow she’s not asleep until 9 every night because she delays it and you’re letting it happen; then this is your task. Commit to your instructions. Because otherwise you ARE putting your kid in more danger than getting a swat on the leg. If she doesn’t believe that her parents word is solid, she won’t listen to her teachers and that can put her and other kids in danger. [/quote]
