When we have our first visit during enrollment, we have families indicate if they have a preferred name they want used with their child. Often times our children have indigenous names they prefer. I'm not sure this falls in a 'pet' name or not, but it would not be their government/ID name, so to speak. As far as the 'darling' goes, I feel that could be a regional expression, if that makes sense.

Dear community,
I had a question about the use of 'pet' names for the respect indicator. The manual says for the middle range: The teacher sometimes uses children's names during interactions or to get their attention, but at other times he does not address them by name or instead uses a pet name. If the teacher sometimes uses frases like 'darling', should I score in the middle range? Can I find any information about why it is better for a positive climate to only use the childrens names?
Kind regards,
