Thus, I was not too surprised when your carers in nursery told me you fell and hit your head when you slipped from standing, resulting in a bruise a few days ago. But, I still wanted to know exactly what and how it happened, and surprisingly found it very difficult to question and ask them to be more careful, without sounding rude or offensive.
Today, I saw a scratch on your face and was told that another kid scratched you because you were both going for the same toy, apparently an accident. How can that happen? I felt stuck in the similar position of wanting to tell them to ensure it does not happen again without patronizing. It's so difficult to strike the balance between being serious and firm, yet chilled out when wanting to make a point across. Do all mothers find it this difficult when wanting to protect their child? Hopefully being tactful in this issue will come with time.

I finally decided to ask the carer when T came back with yet another scratch on the face, and when he reported "XXX hit me again", to be told that he also hit back at XXX :)
