I have a 3 1/2 year old who goes to school/daycare 3 days a week. Shortly after she started she would cry and tell me she didn't want to go. This continued for a few weeks and then she told me she didn't like her teacher. When I asked her why, first she said she didn't know. Then I asked her again, assured her nothing would happen no matter what she told me and that in order for me to protect her, I needed to know if something had happened. So then she looked at the squirt bottle in front of her and said "she squirts me with the squirt bottle", she then looked at a booster table in the corner and said "she smushes me with the booster". At this point, I thought she was just making things up because she didn't want to go to school. Another week or 2 goes by and she tells me "I don't wanna go to school, I don't like (teachers name)" again, I asked why. She told me "her does bad things to me". I asked what and she said "I don't know, please don't tell her I said that". I was worried at this point but again, not sure if it's just that she doesn't want to go to school. Sometimes she will fib, for example, I asked if she had brushed her teeth while with her daddy and she said "yes but don't ask daddy". So I took her out of this teachers class and had her placed in another class. Although she is not under this teachers care anymore, she still sees this teacher and I can tell by the terrified reaction she has when she sees this teacher, something has happened. I've never in 3 years, seen her so scared of someone. She freezes and her eyes fill with tears. This is the worst feeling in the world! I am removing her from this school but want to get to the bottom of this. How do I get my 3 year old to tell me what happened and make sure she knows how to protect herself?
