We Don't Say Those Words in Class

There have not been many times where I have seen a child reprimanded in an extreme manner. I was in a store and I saw a midget. " the child says mommy why does that little girl look so old like you, mama." The mother responds, " stop pointing its not nice to point and poke fun at others who are different." She also explains to her why she is made different and how we should not make fun of those because they are different. They may look at us differently and think that we look funny too!

Some things that might have been communicated to others is that we are all different in some way and we have to accept that and still be nice to one another.This mother, in my opinion has efficiently and correctly reprimanded this child and explained why the other person is different and how we must not treat people differently just because  we are not the same. Moreover, an early childhood educator may have responded in the same way, and tell the child that she/he should not make fun of other's differences.
