my 3yr old son always comes home from pre k with scratches.......?

Question

Hi my son,3, who is in a special ed pre k class is always coming home with scrapped knees, scrapped chin scratches and its upsetting cause he cant talk (brain damage to R side of brain at age 1,causin delays in development) i need advice on what to do and would it b in my best interest to take photos of everything that happens to him n show a school board member or what?

Answer 1

I would talk to his teacher and find out why he's getting hurt so much. Maybe they are not supervising him the way they should. I teach a pre-k class of 30 four- and five-year-olds, and I can tell you he should NOT be coming home hurt that often. Yes, I would take photos and document the injuries, and definitely talk to the teacher(s) and the principal or director of the school and tell them you are concerned and want to find out what's been happening for him to get hurt so frequently at school.

Answer 2

Um...very strange question. Well um your son isn't like a pet dog that you can exchange for another. Um if you had wanted a girl that bad, then you should have seen a fertility doctor about that. Plus, a 3 year old is naturally whinny, especially when his/her bladder hurts. And to answer your question, no there are no adoption programs like that. No rent to own deals or 30 day trial deals either, sorry. Adoption is for placing a child in a stable loving home so the child grows up mentally physically and emotionally healthy. If you don't love your son, then give him up for adoption. Don't worry about another child. Sooner or later all children get on their parents nerves for one reason or another, so you'll have a least one problem with any child you take care of. Good luck to you and your son.

Answer 3

Children have a tendancy of playing too roughly when there are other children present. Take some pictures and ask the school if you could sit in and observe your child, tell them the reason why. Ask the instructors if they know the reason for the scratches if not ask to sit in. That way you can see how and why your son has these scratches, maybe he plays roughly, or is a little clumsy or maybe another child is bullying him.

Answer 4

I have a 3 year old boy also, and he is such a danger to himself. I know that my son is extremely clumsy and is too busy playing and having fun to pay attention to what he can hurt himself on. If its scrapes, thats a good indication that he's banging himself up while playing. Does he give you a hard time when you drop him off at school? Does he not want to go? Really, if he's having a hard time with other children, he would find a way to let you know that he is in danger or that something is going on.

Answer 5

Do the preschool teachers say anything about what happened when you pick him up?

I would contact a lawyer if they don't have answers. I understand a bruise or scrape here and there, but at least have a reason how and why it happened and come up with a plan to prevent it. These teachers aren't doing a good job if your son is getting hurt so much.

Answer 6

I think taking photos is a good idea, just keep track of dates. I would ask for a conference in person as soon as possible so you can meet with the principal/borad member. You should feel that he is safe and right now I can tell you don't think he is. Be sure you tell him he's not in trouble. My kids act like they did something wrong, even say "I'm sorry" when they get scrapes so make sure he knows he's not in trouble. I know how sensitive they can be. Let us know how it turns out, ok? Ok. Take care mama.

Answer 7

i would ask his teacher what is happening. there is a good chance he may be falling down, afterall he is 3 years old. if she gives you a strange answer or it keeps getting worse i would consult a principal or another teach. try talking to other mothers and see if they are having a similar problem. it could just be from him playing and falling down but you should see if it is a more serious problem. especially with him not being able to tell you what is going on. good luck.

Answer 8

Sounds like he's just being a kid. Scraped knees and chins happen very frequently at that age. At least you know hes not sitting in front of a t.v. all day.

Answer 9

Absolutely! Take pictures. Have you talked to his teacher about this and asked why he has scratches? If the teacher cannot prevent him from getting them, then I would go above her! Don't let this go on any longer!!

Answer 10

I would ask his teacher what's going on. It could just be that he's falling off the swings or something, or it could be a bully. Talk to the teacher and see if she can help.
