If you'd like to find out how other nursery managers might deal with a problem that you are facing, then write giving details to 'A Problem Shared' at the address on page three Q We are having to deal with a very difficult parent. Her child is wonderful but she is rude and aggressive. She is always late at pick-up time and regularly shouts at staff or seizes on trivial things to cause a fuss. Her behaviour is worse with junior staff but the whole nursery team are scared of her. Now her second child is nearing the top of the waiting list and we are wondering whether we can face dealing with this woman for a few more years. We have talked to her about her behaviour and even asked why she sends her child to our nursery if we are so 'awful'. She says she wants a childminder but her partner wants nursery provision for their children. What should we do?

Nursery World's past two series of collectable, pull-out guides, 'Around the Nursery' and 'Birth to Three', proved incredibly popular with our readers, and we're sure that this year's series on developing quality provision in the Foundation Stage, which starts in this issue, will turn out to be just as much of a hit. Written by Nursery World regular contributor Jane Drake, the first part focuses on environment. Forthcoming guides will look at issues including organising staff, supporting children's learning, observation and assessment, transition and working with parents. The series will build up into an invaluable resource for all practitioners and managers working with three- to five-year-olds.

Our weekly columnist Beatrix Campbell sees Labour's respect agenda failing amid its confusion over child protection

    News

    • | Nursery World
The Government got its comeuppance last week. When Tony Blair launched his Respect and Reform agenda, a hazy but heavy crusade against community crime, low life and, along the way, human rights, he could not have expected what happened. The first thing that happened was general derision for his notion of on-the-spot sanctions. This must have come as a shock after his years of trading on a populist airing of a reactionary law and order agenda. His populism, however, sought the restoration of traditional order, which did not and could not infuse a respect revolution in popular culture.

Social behavior and peer relationships of victims, bully-victims, and bullies in kindergarten

This Swiss research involved 345 children aged five to seven categorised as victims, bully-victims, bullies, and non-involved. It established distinct behaviour patterns for the three groups, some of which may be risk factors for being victimised or becoming a bully. Victimised children's lack of friends might render them psychologically and socially vulnerable, and thus more prone to becoming easy targets, while bullies seemed to be preferred playmates, particularly for other aggressive boys.
