So, today one of our newest worker came to me and told me that the bully has now been harming her by putting her hands on her neck.
My question is, what do we do from a daycare worker perspective to help this issue go away since it has now elevated to physical harm? From what she told me, mom already know but i am not too sure if she knews that now it has gotten to this point. I was thinking of telling mom or dad today about it but forgot.
Is the bullying happening at school and she is telling you about it when she gets to daycare? If it is happening at school, the parent needs to step in and speak with the school. Putting your hands on someone in school is considered assault, so if tey are having a hard time getting a response from teh school, they need to go higher up and find out what rights they have to get her moved or in a safe environment.
If this is happening at daycare, you need to tell your director and they need to handle it asap. Putting your hands on another person is NOT OKAY. I am glad this child has you as an advocate and I hope you can get it resolved!
