I'll tell you what... I totally agree that discipline is the better word. I'm sorry this caused such a thing! DC girl has used toddler toys for the second day in a row, she actually came in this afternoon with a note she wrote at school. It says:
Mrs. Jessie. I am sorry I drawed on you table. It was wrong. I will ask before I use markers and I will be respecting. I am sorry.
E
So the issue is a non issue. She seems to be doing better, and might be able to move to bigger toys tomorrow.
Thank you for your advice
Yes, I did ask for advice. I am going to reply to your points:
1. Yes, I needed a punshment more strict than simply sitting on the wall. I wanted something that would bother the child enough to make her think. I don't need "revenge"
! I'm an adult! I was "angry" at her yes, even her mother. But no, I have no need for revenge. If I ever feel the need for revenge it is high past time to terminate services.
2. Oh yes, I would be fine with all of the dc parents reading my responses on the forum. I am not ashamed that I feel anger, I'm not ashamed that I went to my peers and asked for help, and I'm certainly not ashamed that I worked out a punishment for the young lady. Actually most of what I said in the original post I said to her mother. I think my exact quote was "Well, E will owe me a punishment on Monday for her actions. I am angry and frustrated that she would mark on the table and not feel badly about it. Do you have any suggestions?) I have not called the child names or done anything inappropriate.
Please stop acting like I commited a crime. I have a bunch of kids with great behavior. I won't ask for "punishment" advice again.

OK dear, you asked for advice so now I'm going to give it.
You "want a punishment that will really sting." That sure sounds like you want revenge - against a child or her Mother or both.
I would like to advise you to be more cautious when you post things here since it can be viewed by ANYONE. You don't have to be a member here to read this. Can you imagine this child's Mother reading this on a public forum?
