I have found that the most dangerous type of parent is one who never admits their child has made a mistake, let alone do anything wrong.
If they tell you this, they are you, their baby and yes, they.
But that’s not me.
I admit it easily when my son was a society.
I am a strong believer in accepting responsibility, apologizing to the injured party and trying not to do it again. (You know, simply avoiding a-hole behavior.)
But there was once in daily care when I was forced to go full Elle Woods on behalf of my son in response to an unfair accusation.
And by Elle Woods I want to say that I removed it in a cheating technician.
“He shattered the tail of Abby”
My son, aged about three, was in the little boy’s room at the local daily care center.
He usually played with a small cherub called Abby.
This returned to the day ago daily care applications, so it was a surprise to me when I was quietly spoken in an ‘incident’.
“He shattered Abby’s tail!” I was told by a guardian who made the gesture to the little angel, sitting there with a perfectly master bob.
The guardian was taking it very seriously. And of course, it was serious. If I were Abby’s mother, I would have mourned the loss of that curly mass. And being concerned about what he might have gone wrong with a sharp instrument.
So scissors’ safety and personal boundaries had to be reinforced, and I properly provided the staff that would happen.
“But whose fault was it really?”
As he got home to go home, I start to think … but how did he get the well -known sharp scissors how to cut Abby’s thick hair?
Are you not using safety scissors with small ones?
Coincidentally, the craft table and confirmed that they are using the type that can barely cut paper.
Instinctively, I was impressed by my son’s versatility so I could tear a whole flock with them, but then I quickly drew my thoughts back into my constant descents.
It was impossible, I ended. He must have taken into account some adult scissors.
I unclear him I asked him, “Did he use these paper scissors? I can’t believe he managed to trim Abby’s hair! And so soon, no one noticed! Abby must have been down a lot. “
I was asking the main question and I was very passive-aggressive about it.
But when one of the points of sale of the center was that they have a guardian for four children, I was curious to know the incident, which did not happen in a separate second, had happened.
“He used adult scissors”
Finally, one of the youngest guardians came and half whispered, “he used the scissors left by the printer” in the corner of the room.
I knew. Scissors to adult.
At our exit, I stop from the director’s office to sign the incident report. I told her my safety/scissors’ theory to adult, coupled with my supervision theory (lack of supervision instant and I assured that if these factors were not present, Abby would not be a lighter kilo now Without its tail.
“He is innocent, your honor,” (I said in my head).
But I raised those security concerns as a parent properly concerned, and the director had to admit that it was a “supervision” to leave the scissors from the printer, and for the guardian to lose the improper cut.
I mean, really, any older wouldn’t have made those observations – but in three?
I called Abby’s mother that night to apologize. She seemed disappointed about Abby’s hair, but agreed that she was worried that everything happened in the first place.
When I asked my son why he was motivated to do what he did, he tightened and would not make contact with his eyes.
I wish I could tell you that he did not take full responsibility for hacking in his friend’s hair, and I was so proud of his maturity.
But that didn’t happen.
I just glad that he did not make a crime of such opportunities again.
I rest my issue.
