I'll bet the preschool has been through the whole cycle.
Version 1
1 - "sure, we'll do our best to make sure your child doesn't fall"
2 - child falls, cries, parents are upset, accuses the preschool of not doing a good job
3 - everyone unhappy
Version 2
1 - "kids fall, it's normal".
2 - child falls, cries, parents are a little upset but realize that kids are going to fall
I think the second scenario is preferable.
I think for me the version 1 stops at step 1. I don’t get upset if the child falls. In fact she fell multiple times on the playground on the second day. And I even let her get up by herself. So it’s not about the actual actions. It’s about how it’s conveyed. So I do understand that it’s normal.
