SEN child "aggressive" behaviour
Show your support
I'd expect the nursery to also safeguard my child. My child is not that childs outlet. If the SEN child did hurt my child I'd want to know what steps have been put in place to stop that from happening again. Although I can understand that the child may not have control but at the same time both children are in their care and their responsibility. Maybe there's a distraction technique or activities to help stimulate him/ her.
This is definitely a tough one… I’ve worked with SEN adults and we have protocols in place for this kind of thing. I imagine the nursery does too, so really it shouldn’t get to the point of another child being hurt. But I wouldn’t be pleased… my child should be being safeguarded too. An accident/one off incident I’d try to be understanding. But if this was repetitive then no. It’s not ok.
OK so everyone would be blaming the nursery not the parents
@jade well if it’s at nursery yes, it’s their job to manage behaviour. If they’re out in public with their parents, then it’s the parents responsibility
Yeah I was just wanting to know because I'm anxious about sending my child to play centre and nursery because of his suspected ASD and the behaviours he has
I think you have to be understanding to the child’s individual needs, but as a parent, I’d also want to know what measures the nursery have put in place to ensure my child isn’t repeatedly hurt and the other child is being supported. (Such as sensory outlets, safe spaces, redirection, communication training such as Makaton, gestures and symbols)
