Well I am home on my lunch break and thought I'd give an update. Jimmy was in our room starting at 9 this morning. At 9:45 our kids were at their learning centers. One child was playing at the sensory table and Jimmy was trying to push her out of the way. The girl said "No, Jimmy!" and Jimmy bit her right as I and the other teachers turned to see him biting her. Cara(one of the other teachers) grabbed Jimmy away and I ran with the girl to get her ice. It immediately swelled, bruised and there is CLEARLY a HUGE bite mark. As I was coming back, the cook came and handed me another bag of ice saying that Cara had called her and said that another child was bit. He tried to get to our sensroy table, not even touching Jimmy, and Jimmy bit him. I started shaking when I got back to my room and saw it was one of my boys. Lucy-the other teacher-was holding Jimmy,face out, and Cara was holding the boy that had gotten bit. I was so angry I walked into the bathroom with the little girl that had gotten bit first and started crying and hugging her. I got so mad I had made myself cry. I am FURIOUS! He had only stayed two hours today.
We have tried talking to Jimmy but I don't think he understands. Mom and dad made a bite book but he doesn't get it. It's not like the kids are picking on him. My kids were minding their business and he does it. The parents have tried rewards and he still doesn't get it. I am at a loss. I don't know what else to do. Before he gets tested monday, he will be in our room half a day....
These kids are my babies and if they don't find something wrong with Jimmy, then I'm afraid I cannot work there. It is too emotional for me and I can't see my kids get hurt all the time. Jimmy was trying to bite Lucy while she held him. When he learned he couldn't bite her, he started pinching her and kicking her.
It is so nice that you guys have all this advice. I am praying they find something wrong. Not only to help him but so my kids aren't getting hurt constantly. Please keep any advice you have coming and keep us all in your prayers.
