So my 2 year old son has just preschool / daycare (which has kids going up to age 5). When I went to pick him up on Friday as we were leaving there were older kids - maybe 4 year olds - sitting on a bench and I told my son 'say bye to your friends'. One of the girls started saying "bye bye stinky winky" and laughed. I was a bit taken aback by this. Name-calling in a preschool is not something I had imagined. Luckily, my son doesn't understand all of this, but I just have been going on and on with this incident in my head. Should I let it go, or should I just go and talk informally to the teacher about it? Am I being a total tell-tale/ pesky parent? I just feel that name-calling should be discouraged as a rule and if it continues, that name would just stick. Has anyone experienced this? What did you do? Any advice?
