How do we handle in front of the rest of the clas https://padlet.com/colettejoannidis/zavjcyed1xqg/wish/246421837

A child discloses that their Dad always yells at their Mum a lot and she cries. Sometimes he throws things. The child has only ever known this sort of relationship between a Mother and Father but recently saw how caring a friends Dad was towards their Mother. What is the best way to approach this with the child? https://padlet.com/colettejoannidis/zavjcyed1xqg/wish/248365869 2018-04-04 04:38:44 UTC https://padlet.com/colettejoannidis/zavjcyed1xqg/wish/248365869 Q3.

I would suggest a graduate teacher should discuss this situation with their mentor teacher and it can be escalated to the welfare team. A tricky one that is best judged on individual circumstances with the support of the welfare team. ]]> 2018-04-05 03:07:03 UTC https://padlet.com/colettejoannidis/zavjcyed1xqg/wish/248730270 Q4 simonenelson03 https://padlet.com/colettejoannidis/zavjcyed1xqg/wish/248732558 A girl already has her period in the late stages of primary school.
