Description and Message:

[Lorina]

It's actually a form of physical abuse if you tie the child's hand up. A concern will also be whether the mother does this at home which will probably need to be reported. The parent is not allowing the child to do what comes natural which will leave the child with emotional and psychological disturbances, Does the child get punished at home for using their left hand? Yes report to the director about what the parent suggested. Support the child by encouraging her to use whatever had she feels comfortable with...
