Force Feeding
Margaret has been a carer for over 20 years. She would like to retire but needs to keep working for financial reasons.
Today the toddlers have been particularly unsettled, crying, fighting and not wanting to participate in the activities. Margaret is pleased that it is lunch time – not long before everyone who is still up will have a sleep. Ella (17 Months) is a fussy eater at the best of times, but today she is refusing to even try her food. Margaret can feel herself getting angry with Ella as she repeatedly pushes the spoon away from her mouth. Margaret holds Ella’s chin and pushes the spoon into her mouth. Ella spits the food out and begins to scream.
Margaret slams the spoon and bowl on the table, yelling at Ella ‘ Starve then, see if I care1” The other carers look at Margaret in stunned silence.
