She doesn't know what she's done, really?
by RobinT123, May 21, 2008 08:20PM
Sarah is my 2 1/2 year old daughter.
She begins daycare and hits or pushes other kids. I'm so embarrassed and heartbroken. At school she is put in time out, the teacher talks with her about what she did and she tells the other child she's sorry.
The teacher said... they don't think she really means to hurt the other kids.
She only been in daycare for 3 wks. She's always been here with me at home. Spoiled? possibly. She also has a 3yr old brother, Matt (they're 14mths apart). He hits her, knocks her down, takes things from her...but then hugs her, holds her hand, helps her up, kises her nite-nite. She never takes up for herself. She cries and he gets sent to time out.
From what the teacher say it's like they are describing a different child. Today she pulled a whole hand full of hair out of a little girls head! and she likes this little girl. We got a note from school that she had hit a child in the face with a toy. She walked away like she doesn't understand what she just did. Also the teacher said she could be taking out on the others what her bro does at home.
I would not want my child being harassed...and... I don't want my child harassing others!
Sarah is really quiet, plays by herself at school, she has baby dolls at home that she loves, hugs, kisses and carries around, we have a 8wk old puppy that she loves and carries around, she gets mad at her bro but doesn't get pyhsical.
help?!

Sounds like she is trying to adjust to daycare and all the activity there and at her age, physical aggression can be the way that she adjusts.
I would start to discourage physical aggression in the house altogether-- as you now know that your child has these tendencies. Some kids pick it up- some don't-- those that do, you need to stem the tide, so to speak.
As far as discipline goes, there is a book -How to Behave So Your Preschooler Will Too-- that probably has some good recomendations for dealing with a behavior management program.
