The teacher found this very rude and disrespectful and kept repeating it to the kid and her mom was also called to the school
The kid was in tears and apologized, but the teacher expected an apology again the next day, so the poster put her foot down and refused
To understand the teacher-student relationship better,Bored Pandareached out to teacher and principal Jyoti D., who has been in the teaching profession for the past 21 years. She spoke about how children often form strong attachments to their teachers because teachers play an important role in their emotional and social development.
She added how this attachment is generally a healthy part of childhood, as it helps kids feel secure and supported while learning independence and social skills. Just like any other child, OP’s daughter also felt attached to her teacher, so whenHalloweencame, she couldn’t resist.
According to Jyoti, “Children between the ages of 4 to 6 are still learning basic social rules and are often egocentric, meaning they tend to view the world from their own perspective. They may understand that certain actions have consequences, but they typically lack the ability to fully consider how their actions affect others’ feelings.”
“If they hurt someone, they may see it only as a ‘bad’ act, not necessarily understanding the difference between accidental and intentional harm,” she added. From the daughter’s actions, it was obvious that she didn’t mean any intentional harm to the teacher; she was just impersonating her as she loved her so much.
Most importantly, she alsoapologizedfor her actions after she realized that her teacher was not happy with what she did. The teacher was not satisfied with just one apology but wanted it again the next day and the mom simply refused as she felt her kid had learned her lesson. Not only was she in tears but she later kept asking the poster whether her teacher hated her and if she was a “bad girl”. How sad is that?
While commenting on this incident, Jyoti mentioned, “It is incredibly important for a student to feel ‘forgiven’ after a disciplinary event, as this sense of forgiveness fosters a positive learning environment and supports the child’s emotional well-being and personal growth. When students feel forgiven, they are more likely to learn from the experience, build trust with their teachers, and regain a sense of belonging.”
On the other hand, our expert also emphasized the impact on the child when they don’t feel forgiven and how it can affect their self-image. She claimed that at a young age, children are still developing a sense of self and learning how to interpret social feedback, so they are particularly sensitive to how adults respond to their actions.
She added that when reprimanded strongly, they may start to feel thattheyare bad, not just that they made a poor choice. In Jyoti’s opinion, This can lead to a fixed self-view, where they see themselves as “troublemakers” or “bad kids,” which can harm their self-esteem and overall sense of worth.
She concluded, “When children unintentionally hurt or upset others, they might naturally feel some level of guilt, especially if they care about the person affected. However, prolonged or repeated reprimands can intensify this guilt, turning it into shame, which is more damaging and harder to overcome.”
