The daycare is run by my sister and brother-in-law. I found out that he tells the children that when someone hits or pinches, that you can hit and pinch them back. Or when someone takes your toy, "you have to go get it back". He says it teaches them NOT to hit and it teaches them to stand up for themselves.
I don't agree with this way of teaching children AT ALL. I haven't had a sit-down discussion with them about this because I need some advice from everyone reading this on what to say. Please give me good information, not just an emotional outburst. I need to give them a good arguement with facts and details of how this way of teaching children is inappropriate and dangerous. P.S no, my son no longer attends daycare there. Thank you everyone who answers. This has weighed HEAVY on my mind and spirit.
