Hello,
I am at a loss with what to do with one of our newest three
year old boys. He is a pincher/puncher! He will approach
a child, unprovoked, and pinch their cheeks in a harsh,
violent way or punch at another child for no apparent
reason. I am trying my hardest to observe when this happens
the most (usually during transition times) and feel
completey un-Montessori and too authoritarian when I tell
him he must stay with me and not move. However, the safety
and well being of the other children are being
compromised. I have told the mother about these events and
am sensing I must call an official meeting. Other parents
are beginning to ask me about this child... Has anyone
gone through a similar experience? Have you ever dis-
enrolled a student do to this type of behavior if it does
not improve? Thanks so much.
