[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The point is, after working with children for over twenty years, calling the police would have never, EVER even occurred to me even if I had tried all the means you described above. [b]Do you really think the child wouldn't have calmed down after a period of time?[/b] If the bear hug approach didn't work, what about placing her in room where she could do no harm to herself or others? This is assuming that this child was really capable of doing serious harm to others. Again, if we don't realize that this is not an indictment of a six year old's behavior but an indictment of how adults handled it, we are lost.[/quote] You're assuming this was a "normal" child. No, she would not have necessarily have just "calmed down" eventually-- and what if she hurt herself or someone else in the mean time? Your 20 years of experience doesn't add up to a hill of beans if someone ends up seriously injured. [/quote]
