I just hope they know what they're doing. I've seen children behave like that so many times (I used to work in a kindergarten type facility in America and have worked in the field for the past three years besides uni; here in Berlin, that is) - it's obviously really natural and important for children to test their own and everyone else's limits. Just how the carers respond to these things...that's what really counts. I hope you're feeling a bit better about all this already! As far as your parenting skills go, it really does not seem (from what I've read) like you are doing anything strange here - he seems to be a strong, happy and healthy boy. As long as he is aware of the fact that there are certain basic rules to social interaction, I am sure he'll be fine. You sound like you're handling things just great! ;) Well, that’s something then.

Since I wrote this they have reconsidered a bit and think they can work with him. And they said they won't kick him out at a moment's notice, either, if it seems not to be working. So, that's good. I'm torn, too, in that I think I need to work with him better myself, too, but I'm not sure exactly what to do. Ah, parenting... you'll find out soon enough :-) Lassie, I’m a bit angry, too.

I don't think it is ok for them to just kick him out. They should have taken the time to sort this out with your boy - and the rest of the children, for that matter. What will this experience tell him/teach him? Obviously I think it's great he'll have the chance to just develop freely (being cared for by a nanny), but on the other hand it's really important for him to learn the "rules", the Dos and Don'ts of social interaction, action and reaction patterns with his peers...grrr...I am mad at these people, can you tell!
