EJ* is 4 years old. He is a spoiled little boy who always gets what he wants and he wants everything he sees even those which belong to someone else.
Every time he comes to the center, he knocks things down and grabs other kids’ toys. When he doesn’t get what he wants, he gets into a tantrum that lasts for several minutes. Last week, he grabbed a toy being played by the little girl, Aira, and the girl cried. EJ’s mommy talked with him and told him to give the toy back to the girl. But EJ wouldn’t give it back, so mommy took it and handed it to Aira. EJ got so mad he dropped on the matted floor. He screamed at the top of his lungs and flailed his arms and legs wildly. Mommy picked him up and tried to pacify him. But EJ kept on screaming as hard as he could and hit mommy again and again.
Then mommy said “It’s ok, baby.. I’m sorry. I’m sorry.. Mommy won’t do it again..”
We were speechless.. EJ was taken outside the play school by his mommy who kept on apologizing to the boy. So, we went on with the class..
Honestly.. I’m lost. Why did mommy apologize to EJ?
