My grand daughter is just 3 and a half years old. She'd be going to her Nursery from this 2nd May.
But I'm very much apprehensive of her safety at school. Because increasing child abuses in schools are making me worried about her safety.
A recent newspaper reporting has made me more concerned. Its stated that in case of boys one out of two boys get physically abused and bullied in schools either by the older students or by some other. In cases of girls the picture is also same.
Increased violence, perversion, etc. are on the increase. And I'm afraid if any such incident happens to her then her entire life may be jeopardised.
I don't know how to save myself from these worries.
I know she's one of the best schools. The teachers are well behaved. Students come from reputed families. Still this thought is eating me out.
I can't tell it to her parents for fear that they might think me a psycho or neurotic.
Can any one suggest what should I do to free myself from these worries?
Thanking you in advance.

No matter how much research we do, and how many preventive measures that we take, I do not think that we will ever be able to get past that feeling of worry. I think all we can do is trust our intution, listen to the other parents, and most of all listen to the children.

yes, that will be my worry too in short future. my daughter is 3. from june i will be sending her to school. i think its better to interact well with the teachers, principals and especially the attendants there. they should be dropped and picked by either of the parents. the child has to be taught what to do and what not to do when other try to compel her.
