Hi there
I wonder if anyone has advice for me about the nursery where our DS has just had his first full morning. My DH and I are wondering if we need to buck up and accept that our child is in this world of group work, or if this is just a really bad nursery.
I feel that the staff are extremely verbally agressive with the children. Even the manager, who seems to be quite a gentle soul, is very direct and I have to say 'in your face' when challenging the children. Granted I have no idea who these children are or what events have led up to the encounter but it's not what our DS is used to and I am worried about how he will cope with this sort of challenge, when he gets into the obvious arguments over sharing, not sitting down etc. He is used to being shouted at from across the room ocassionally but generally we try to speak to him at his level, and in an audible, but not raised tone. Is it wrong of me to think that professionals should do the same?
Having said all of this he stayed at nursery the whole time and none of the staff reported any upset behaviour. He seems to have really enjoyed the experience. Are we being crazy here?
