Kate Gosselin’s Daughter Suspended for Fighting

By Heather B on November 4th, 2010

Gosselin KidsAre Jon and Kate’s kids starting to act out?

Holly Baby reports that one of their 6-year old daughters has been kicked out of their Lancaster County school in Pennsylvania for two weeks!  A source close to the family reveals that the little girl was given a suspension for hitting a classmate.

“Hitting another child is an aggressive act.  It’s bullying!  Schools are finally taking bullying very seriously,” New York City based psychologist Dr. Gilda Carle tells the website.

Even worse however, is the way Kate is said to have reacted to her daughter’s suspension.  Not with a conversation about a more appropriate way to deal with conflict, but by instead declaring, “You’re embarrassing me!”

Dr. Carle says that was the worst thing to do with her daughter.

“Here’s a kid who’s acting out, and Kate makes this all about her!  What Kate should do is discuss with her daughter why she’s acting out – not by yelling or lecturing her, but by listening to what the child has to say,” she says.  “I suspect there’s very little listening in that household, only dictatorial directions.”

    I don’t see this as a newsworthy item. Other parents’ children are giving similar problems at school. But, I can see that Kate’s older children would have problems since the spotlight is more on their younger siblings. And, I know, from earlier generations, that Kate responded in the typical manner. When we were kids, we’d have gotten a tongue-lashing and a whipping from our parents for this suspension. (The parents who fought the teacher to remove the suspensions raised children who thought they were entitled to bully.) So many like to think they would do better by the eight children than Kate does. But I see parents with only one or two children bullying their own kids.

    Where are these kids learning this type of aggression? The answer is Kate. She is an agressive, self absorbed bully. Hopefully someone is looking into this further. Imagine what Jon put up with, that we dont know about. The Great Kate apparently isn’t so great. Please get her off of tv…she is sooooo annoying.
