DD is 3.4. She has been at preschool 2 mornings a week since September and loves it, and has increased to 5 sessions now she has funding since Easter. However the last 3 Mondays she has come home with scratches all over her face, today has been the worst as they are across her nose and by her eye and very obviously bled quite a lot. Preschool have apologised and always made a point of speaking to me about it. There is one boy who had recently got a baby sister and he is lashing out at the others, not just DD. Preschool are trying to help him which I do think is important but honestly, how long do I let this go on? It just seems so unfair on DD and the other girl who seems to get it all the time too. Apparently he really likes DD and they play nicely, but then he will suddenly snatch a toy, she grabs it back and he lashes out. I have asked if DD does anything to provoke it that I can try and explain about not doing, but they say there isn't anything. DD will tell me what has happened and I have asked her if she likes playing with this boy, and she says no because he scratches. So other than telling her to stay away from him I'm not sure what else to do. I hate that she keeps getting hurt and don't want her to either be put off preschool or to start fighting back. At the moment she doesn't retaliate but I can well imagine she might.
If anyone has any experience of this or any suggestions I would love to know! Thank you.
