A scene yesterday in Kita (Nursery/Preschool): Another Mom comes in and smiles to a girl. The girl runs away and hides in the corner behind me. So I say, "hey! Your mum is here" But she looks really scared as if she is going to start to cry. And she wisper. "She is not my mom. I don't know who she is." Well, I dont know any of them, so I ask: "Is she your nanny? an aunt? "No, I've never seen her." The teacher came, the Mom, but the girl continued for at few minutes like that. It was really sad.
The woman was actually her mom. The girl 2 years old. I thought about my kid who runs to me laughing and shaking his arms from joy. Will he do that to me one day?
And what the hell goes in a child mind or in the family so the child reacts that way? A 2 years old? Just an imagination?
chatonlyman2: I would wish a person would notify childs services because that sounds very disturbing. Do it for your own sanity.
I agree. It sounded disturbing so I mentioned it to the teacher. She said that the girl has a lot of wired behaviors. Like every day she is saying that she must to ballet classes, and that she goes to ballet classes every day although she never went to any.
You see, I am not so fast with social services because I collaborated with them in US.
So I am a little in distress. I didn't like the child behavior. It brings questions. But my sister reminded me that when I was a child my mom left me for vacation with my family (grandpas, aunt, other cousins), when she came back I refused to call her mom for a while.

That sounds pretty normal to me.
My granddaughter is three, nearly four and her imagination is a lot wilder and weirder than that.
Maybe the child just wanted to stay in nursery school and didn't want the fun to stop.
Maybe the mum had a different hairstyle, or appearnce in another way? I remember walking off with the wrong mum once because she was wearing a red coat. I slipped my hand into the pocket and neither she, nor I noticed. It was only when my mother called me that we both realised we were attached.

Even children from abused homes tend to run to, and cling to, their parents, especially the mother, because sometimes it is their only window of opportunity to get even a tiny bit of that love they want and need. (Welfare workers have documented this trend for years, when they take the child for a supported visit to the parent(s) who have been physically and emotionally abusive. The child STILL clings to that parent(s).) So, having this well documented trend, I would say that there is something deeply wrong with the family milieu for the child to say the parent is NOT hers. This is critically out of balance, even for an emotionally disturbed child. Advocate for this child, if you can. Something is very, very wrong, in my opinion from reading what you have said.
My first thought would be that the child is abused. On the other hand, she could be delusional? Although that usually starts up as they approach adulthood. Sounds disturbing and it isn't normal.

Or possibly a way of expressing herself in a way a child can. It could be a sign of emotional intelligence.
Like kids saying, "I don't like you!" when actually they mean to communicate anger, or upset about something else...like being told off.

That's so true. They can use very cruel words or they can become aggressive when there are big under big emotions. My kid (still not talking age) pulls my hair (1) when something is wrong (stomachache, pampers full, etc), (2) when we are having fun playing and hugging, or (3) simply to check my reaction. He even says "no-no" when he does it!!!. They just don't control emotions and less the ways they express it.

Mr. Piggy was my best friend. We used to have conversations and parties daily. One day my mother skinned him alive and threw him in the wash. Ew, then she put his skin on and tried to get me to take him back. She was a very sick lady.
