When one child injures another

[AmandaKDT]

A child at 3.5 years old is more than old enough to know not to hit with toys like that.

From my behavior management policy, which is kept posted and parents sign off on it:

Any abusive, violent or aggressive behaviour that endangers the child, other children, the child care provider, equipment or building will not be tolerated. After the first offence the family will be notified immediately. In extreme cases (such as physical violence and/or hitting) or after the 2nd offence, the child will be suspended for 3 days. In the event of the 3rd occurrence, the child will be suspended permanently without prior warning being given.
