Oh, and as a side note, to add to the already pent up aggravation, she threw the word "abuse" out there today, when talking to Adam.
Yeah....she went there.
well maybe you shouldn't abuse your kid! GOSH
Yeah, maybe....problem is, she wasn't talking about the "hitting" abuse....
What kind of "abuse" was she talking about?
Long story short.....and NO making fun of Tyler for this, but when he was younger, in oder to be "comfortable" while using the bathroom at home (ONLY at home, and only while um....dropping the kids off at the pool), he would remove his clothing while he sat there, and played Gameboy while doing his bid-ness.
He stopped that about a year ago, but apparently reverted back to it yesterday....in the bathroom at school.
Normally, I would find this kind of funny, but his teacher seems to think that his clothing removal is indicative of abuse somehow, and is now all freaking out.
By the by, he is not the first member of my family that does this,....I can name 3 others. So maybe it's genetics, I don't know. But it really offends me that she suggested that, especially since she is always saying what a wonderful home he comes form. UUUUGGGGHHH!!!!!
Wow. That teacher is insane. That is not that unusual for little kids.
who knows, maybe the teacher was abused at one time. she's just being cautious, i'm sure. but i would be offended as well. :(
Yeah, I said something to her about the offensive remark.
Not unusual. I've heard of a number kids doing this.
Additionally, the stress of relocation could cause a child to temporarily exhibit minor to major regressive behavior. I don't know how they do things out in rattlesnake country, but this teacher should do a little research.
Yeah....I've heard from a number of different sources, that the two hardest times to move in a child's life are in the 2nd and 3rd grade years, and in junior high.....so Tyler's right there. He also did a bit of the "baby talk" last month, which we stopped right away....so regressing is normal for him, it seems. Especially given the amount of stress he's been under lately.
