You do not have to accuse anyone. I would talk to both the school and the therapist and ask if anything happened. Just say I am not accusing because I know things happen and if my child is having a tantrum it is hard to control. They may just fess up to it and say they forgot to tell you, or on the flip side they also know you are aware and will be looking for things.

Just inform both of them it is not a big deal if something happens as long as they report it to toy. If they don't report it then you are going to look into things.

If an instructor had to restrain or "grab" your child to prevent hurtin herself ....they should have informed/ explained to you right away or upon pick up. I'd definitely question it.

I'd look into this...I and my son bruise easily, but still, it just doesn't sound right. if he's doing it to himself or if the instructor is applying too much pressure....either way it needs to be addressed and resolved. neither is acceptable.

i thought the same thing, that my preschool was not handling him properly. I did realize shortly after was when he was having a tantrum instead of banging his head into things because i restrained him he began grabbing his own wrists to the point where it left fingernail marks and bruises.
