I have 3 after schooler girls age 6 so year 2, that come all together on a thurs, I have 2 of them other days no probs but all together on a thurs they get so over excited screaming throwing toys, wrestling etc all I do is nag.
So this week I sat them down said I'm fed up of constantly telling them off and they are to write their own rules we'll stick up and if they break any they can go and read them to remind themselves and if they stick to them they get a sticker on my reward chart.
All going great and one of them says no swear words, I said I should hope not, let's write no rude words as we don't want younger ones copying. One says I don't know any swear words and then another leans over and whispers one in her ear! She admitted to me she had when I asked her and said sorry and looked pretty upset and I think it was a case of acting without thinking of the consequences and I said I'd have to tell her parents as it wasn't acceptable especially as they'd just come up with it as something they didn't think they should do!
Anyway apart from that behaviour amazing compared to normal, she didn't get her sticker, but wasn't opportunity to speak to her parent at pickup as 4 others also collected at same time and wasn't chance.
Has anyone got advice for dealing with this? An email to mum? I bump into her at school but don't think it's very professional to discuss it there, but a friend collects Monday and dad Thursday when it's mayhem with collecting and to be honest I don't want to dredge it all back up as I'm hoping it was a one off.
Any advice welcome, not had to deal with this before, parents are so lovely I don't think the language came from them in a million years which makes it harder to bring it up as I think they'll be mortified!
