When we brought this<br>to the attention of the school director she handled it very well and<br>contacted the other parent and worked on a plan. She also monitored the room<br>for a few days during activity and play time and sat with all of the<br>children and explained appropriate language. I know my son took it to heart<br>as he now says, "We can't watch Sponge Bob because he says bad words". At<br>least we don't have to deal with Sponge Bob!

I would have been in shock! My daughter, who is 3, plays a lot with her babysitter's older boys. Imagine my surprise when she engineered her Leggos into a gun and shot her cousin (who is a year old). I had a talk with my babysitter and asked her to tell her boys not to play these kinds of games with her because she it too young to understand how dangerous guns are. But that is one of the things that irks me to core about traditional schools. I visited a local day care in my are and heard the language used by some of the kids, that I rushed home and realized that my daughter needed so much more than these places had to offer. I personally would rip my child out of the school because it seems that the teachers are not paying attention to what is going on. First language that physical behavior- it's only a matter of time.

I have a similar issue with a couple of kids from my son's Pre-K class. I take whatever opportunity I can to teach him about integrity, virtue, and being true to who he is. Don't let your desire to protect your son stop you from empowering him to protect himself from these types of people.

Good luck!
