As a parent would you.....

As a parent would you want to be told right away? Or at the end of the month when it is time for parents to sign some things?

So there is a student that is either 4 or 5...and she is saying and doing some concerning things. Here are a few examples.....

1.)She says " I am going to put the baby in the oven."
2.) Uses a plastic saw to saw a student's arm.
3.) Mentions Megan the AI robot and Wednesday the series....and even knows about Chucky the doll
4.) Hits children with baby dolls and blames the doll

Now the teacher says that the parents already know but she never gets into detail as to what they know. Because I think the parents are just being told about her bad behavior in the classroom in regards to not following the rules and disrupting learning time. The teacher did mention to the parent how she opened the backdoor to classroom two times this week.....but what about the 4 things she mentioned that I listed?

I presented to the mom that her daughter says and do concerning things and mention Megan and Wednesday and the mom said to the teacher that her and I already spoke....the teacher said she didn't like what I did.

Well when were you going to inform the mom? If the little girl does something in school or at home to harm someone when we have clear signs that the girl needs help then they going to ask why weren't they informed about the 4 that is listed...

It's probably a result of things the mother has done, such as leaving the television to babysit the child.
I applaud your concern, but know now that you may not be changing anything other than your own work situation.

Do you have an educational psychologist that can observe the child?

@SW-User Apparently from what I heard is that there is a counselor available but something about paperwork or something is holding the counseling process. All I know is that the little girl behavior is trouble and the things she does and says is concerning. She over obsessed about blood for a 4 or 5 year old even a tiny drop. And now she has been opening the door without our permission. This is the 2nd time this week. The teacher informed the father and grandmother about the door but what about everything else I've mentioned?

@SW-User Oh and she disrupts the learning process also by kicking furniture and making noise. I don't think she even told the dad that....

@OpalFlower sounds like your little girl needs some help, maybe undiagnosed autism, sensory processing or a neurological problem. Traumatised kids with poor attachment are also pretty challenging at times too. (We adopted three of our foster kids, one is autistic and has foetal alcohol syndrome) Some things that might help her are a visual time table so she knows what will happen next, one to one support for learning and play, increased structured time during unstructured periods like the play ground so she can more easily regulate as well as somewhere quiet or offer ear defenders if it's a busy or noisy area. A book I really like to share with teachers is called "inside I'm hurting" by Louise Bomber. Good luck xx

Parent need to be immediately cautioned in order to take the relevant corrective measures.

@Lyfis2live I agree because from my understanding the girl has a little sister and the girl is either only 4 or 5....she does mean things in the classroom...idk if you seen the movie The Good Son but the little girl is coming off a bit like the Culkin kid.

Just as a person I want to be aware of everything that's happening so as a parent I would too. Most people aren't like me though, I've even got the surveys to back that up. They don't want to hear the whispers behind their back and the uncomfortable truths

Does she have older siblings? She is obviously being exposed to content she is not mature enough to process. Kids act out in play anything troubling them.

@Notladylike The mother did say that she has a teenage sister that be around ber daughter and that they are on Roblox so there is expose there possibly.

Talk to the principal about this one.

OpalFlower · 36-40, F

@Fukfacewillie I told the principal what the girl said about putting the baby in the oven and he said she needs counseling. The teacher says that the principal and parents already know but that is vague because what exactly do they know....do they know that she misbehaves and disrupts learning time by making noises and pestering students distracting them practically everyday or do they know that she says and does concerning things with the saw, baby dolls and things that she see. Because by saying the parents already know doesn't tell me anything....I would inform the parents of every incident every single time she does or say something and press on having a meeting pronto.

@OpalFlower I think it’s admirable you are involved and not just turning your head.

OpalFlower · 36-40, F

@Fukfacewillie I mean tbh I can't turn my head because if she behaves this way in class when her mom isn't around...and if there is no intervention quick....obviously the girl is going to continue the same behavior in kindergarten and possibly in public which may cause her to get in deeper trouble. Like it is weird because when she misbehaves she knows that fun activities will be taken away...and she would cry but the activities will be taken away for just a few minutes after speaking with her then she can have fun. It is like she thrives off of loosing play for a few minutes because she knows that she is going to play soon. So why misbehave...then cry about it? Just do what is expected to save you the crying?

@Misspotat Right and I guarantee you that the teacher spoke to one of her family members telling them that I spoke to the mother without her...without mentioning what I spoke about...and if the person the teacher spoke to didn't ask well what did I say...and just only told the teacher that it is wrong of me then the teacher and the person she spoke to if she spoke to anyone then I just have to laugh. We barely see the mother and I saw it as a opportunity to tell her that her daughter is saying and doing concerning things and also talks about Megan and Wednesday...
