The patience I had to deal with a little girl that hit Joey 3 times during Kindermusik this morning. I didn't say anything to the girl (who is between 2 and 3 years old) or her mom even though all she said to her daughter was, "Say your sorry." Well, sorry worked the first time she swatted at his face, but when she wound up and hit him in the face with the tambourine, and then hit him on the head when he tried to go out the door that she had been running to all class, sorry didn't cut it anymore. If she was really sorry, I'm thinking she would have stopped. I don't have a child that age and I have never had a child that age, but I'm thinking that if Joey did that same thing to a child, I would remove him from the class for a few minutes and then try it again. If he hit her again, I would remove him from the class for the day.
Adam said that he would have said something to the mom. Well, I didn't have anything nice to say so I didn't say anything at all. I'm just hoping that this doesn't continue. If it does continue and mom still doesn't do anything, I may take him out of the class because I'm not going to deal with it for four weeks, which is unfortunate because Joey really loves the class and so do I.
