Hi there...I can sympathise with you.....we have quite a few strange ways of doing things here in Ireland ... I work in a Primary school with Juniors and I find there is no harm in letting one or two little ones who are very shy, 'prone to always feel sick'...those that cry easily etc... sit on my lap. I don't think it shows favouritism and other kids don't tend to view it that way. Some kids are more clingy and need more reassuring/hugs/etc...and other kids are naturally confident and outgoing and just don't even seem to notice it really. Good luck - it's a tough world out there....we all need all the support we can get.

I bet that is really hard children that young, well any age really need a cuddle. When they are upset and need comforting and you are doing your job if youve got the children on your knee cos you are working with the children making the children happy and that is your job. I think you should talk to the manager and explain how you feel and what makes the children happy.
