Daycare aggression

It's definitely a stage. Usually something causes it. It may be another child getting attention and your child wants it. Could also be over toys. My LO went through both. I had to switch her daycares do to other issues and her new teacher had told me she was attacking (biting and scratching) the bully in her class when he hurt her friends. Or when children took toys out of her hands. At home I started taking toys when she set them down and she would get upset so I worked on her asking for them back. And I had neighbors start play fighting with her and taught her to tell them to stop and to tell me. Which now she tells her teacher instead of attacking the bully. In all honesty it's about finding out what the root of the problem is and finding out how to get them to express it in another way.
@Emily yes trying to remind myself he just turned 2. Trying not to get discouraged & upset about it. 🤞🏼🤞🏼 Going to practice nice hands & sharing at home.
@Sierra they seemed to think it’s stemming from sharing. Which makes sense he was an only child at home for 2 years where he doesn’t have to share, so maybe we will practice sharing at home!
My LO is also an only child. And it definitely takes time and patience. Also if you have any friends or family that can also help works really well. That way it's not just learning to share with parents but learning with everyone
My daughter's daycare said she has started to hit the other kids but that all the others are as well. I think it's just a stage. But, I'm also interested to see if there's anything we can do at home to help.
