Are you a big fan of cups for a kid young enough to be in daycare?

It’s a normal practice in many cultures.

Then maybe children of parents who want to cup should be sent to daycare in those cultures. It is not the culture in the US, where OP's child is attending daycare.

Its NOT cupping.

It sounds like cupping to me.

There are some who believe that cupping a baby's chest and back will help draw fluids out of the lungs and alleviate congestion. I texted my crunchy granola, hippie cousin who is an acupuncturist and who does cupping to ask her and that's what she said. She also said that if cupping an infant or toddler, the marks should never be deep purple like on an adult because light cupping should be done.

She said there's also something called gua sha where the skin is scrapped with spoons to cause petechiae. Several Asian cultures believe in the benefits of this she said, but she's never done it or heard of it done on young kids.

I suppose if OP is from a culture that relies on Eastern medicine practices, it would be part of their norm.

You mean, like what American parents culture? Cuz yeah. Speaking from experience, we can be pretty damned abusive.

Yes, the OP has replied. If you read the whole thread you will see her reply, back on page 3.

Who keeps shouting that it isn’t cupping? Is this the OP? Has OP weighed back in to answer questions that keep being asked?

Oh, the heck they would. It’s obvious what cupping is.

This isn't fully accurate. Sometimes they make the coins hot and place them on the body so you get round marks like cupping.

Its NOT cupping. How do you not get that? Maybe you should go through cultural competency training.

Its either fake or it happened. They are being vague. You need to know the exact amount why?

I don't need to know. I've just never heard this phrasing.

Did you miss the part about OP being an immigrant and maybe English is not her first language?

It must not be fake. Jeff has left the thread up

OP, I believe that you weren't being abusive but perhaps reconsider using cultural treatments that cause bruises. Generally speaking, bruises are not a good thing and there is probably some associated soreness.

At any rate, I don't think anything will come of it with child services. People purposely do much worse to their children and nothing happens; sadly. You'll be fine.
