I need to share this story with you guys. My niece Anya (2 years, 5 months) likes to talk on the phone with me. So she called me a liitle while ago and when I answered she said, "Hi Barbara. Nicco's daddy hit him in the face. " And when I said that made me sad, she said "it made her sad too and that her mommy and daddy were nice." Nicco is her little buddy at day care. She told my sister as soon as she go in the car what happened. My sister is going to talk to the director of the day care tomorrow. I felt so bad for both Nicco and that my little, sweet niece had to see something like that at such a young age. She is so smart and funny. She sang me her ABC's yesterday on the phone. |
Poor kids! (Your niece and Nicco). Like Sandy, I hope it is not as serious as it sounds. Although I never discredit what a little one tells me, sometimes we have encourage them to say more so that we can make an accurate judgment.
When DD16 was in elementary school the school counselor came in to the class and talked about abuse. Well, DD16 piped up and said that she lives in an abusive home. So guess who calls me at work, the counselor. The story was that DD16 meant her sister hits her. LOL. I freaked out.
I did not give this counselor much credit as she held a group session for kids of divorce and DDs went to the group. The stories they came home with were so shocking I pulled them out of that group. I think this counselor liked to hear these stories of all the "men" that slept over at mommy's house and the "women" that slept at daddy's house. The group was completely inappropriate and this counselor should have been able to redirect the discussion and talk to the other kids privately about the things that were mentioned in the group. DD's were never exposed to that type of thing and they had a hard time understanding the sleep overs as well as the detailed accounts the kids were giving. (need I say more.)
