A Handsy Kindergartener
It’s a normal part of human development for young kids to start exploring parts of their bodies. They’re naturally curious, and when this happens, it’s up to the adults in their life to guide them on appropriate behaviors, self-control, and the concept of consent. This storyteller tried to address some inappropriate behavior that one of her students was exhibiting, but was shocked by the mom’s response.
When our storyteller told the student’s mom that he was being inappropriate, she wasn’t concerned at all. In fact, she said that her son was just “expressing himself” and that the other kindergarteners should “learn” from his behavior. As a teacher, our storyteller was obviously not thrilled with this mom’s response.
