Today has been one of those days where i would like to crawl under a rock and cry my eyes out.
So yesterday i got to leave early because the numbers were low enough where i didnt have to stay the other teacher could take all the Kids. So i guess one of the parents came and got their Kids and started complaining about me asking my director who is the preschool teacher as well what i did all day, and if i do anything with the Kids at all, then why is her Kid biting and misbehaving if i was doing something with them, and so on... Thankfully my director knows that i work my butt of coming up with ideas daily for the two year olds to do every day, everyday we do circle time where we go over calendar and weather, we go over colors, numbers, Letters, shapes. we do music and movement, we read books, we have center times, art time, and some Free play and even at free play i am always in the room watching them, unless i am changing a diaper or helping someone go potty but other then that i dont leave my room. I am doing research all the time on biting and misbehaving and how to prevent it and i have been making a lot of changes to try to prevent it and thats what my director told this parent.. But it broke my heart
that this parent could question what i do all day with these Kids, and try to put the blame on me for her biting and acting out. it hurt me so bad. i felt so small and like i'm not doing a good job.
this has been the first time i had a parent complain about me, in the past i never had problems with parents, they all loved me they all wanted their children in my room because they loved me they always told me i did a good job. but not this parent, she thinks i don't do anything, and i am the one to blame for her children's behavior. i know its going to happen it's part of the job we can't always make everyone happy but it stinks i hate it. on top of being told that this morning, this parent texted me this afternoon asking how her kid was doing, i replied she is doing okay. even though she refuses to listen to anything i tell her, and she is always fighting with someone... as long as she isn't biting, or hitting... it's a good day so i should give her mom a good report. i also have another little one that hates to listen to me, she runs away when i ask her to put her shoes on or coat, or we have to go inside from the playground, or if i even ask her to help me clean up she refuses to listen to me.
i Have noticed she listen to the other Teachers.. both those kids do... any ideas how i can get them to listen to me?
