Hi mommies , Just curious - my son got bitten in school and it is the childcare centre policy for the teacher to not reveal to the parent the name of the child who bit him. Just wondering why is it so ? My son is in N1.(Not that I am planning to confront the child's parent or anything ) but it's just stating a fact of who did the act. Thanks!

There are different reasons why a child would bite (excited, got provoked, unable to express themselves verbally etc). They are kids, and at this age, are still learning what is right and wrong. So what we want is to emphasize on correcting the action/behaviour, and not labelling the child as a 'biter'/'naughty' etc. I've experienced both roles, as a mother of a 'biter' and as a teacher having to explain to both the 'victim's' and the 'biter's' parents. Do let the school handle the matter. Speak with the Principal if the incidents happen too frequently.
