Had a 3.5yo push, then smack another child for sitting next to him. (Strike 1. Notified Mom, TO.)

Then he was pushing during centers. (Strike 2. Notified Mom, separated.)

He kept trying to go back to centers, so I picked him up to move him. As I was talking to him at eye level, he told me to shut up, then punched me right in the nose. Hard enough for it to bleed some! (strike 3, you're OUT kid.)

Mom is giving me grief for leaving work. She signed a page DEVOTED to this policy for the safety of myself and others in care. She asked if I felt like I couldn't handle him. I said it's not that I can't handle him, it's that I won't.
