I have been reading threads about providers having aggressors and bullys in their care, that ultimately, they have to dismissm from daycare. I agree it is the right thing to do if he/she is making life difficult or upsetting for the provider and other kids there.
But what do I do if my own son is the one who is pushing, hitting, and slapping the other kids at daycare!?! At my home daycare! And what if I told you my son is only 14 months old. A hefty, strong, forceful 14 month old (33lbs). The other kids are 2x 14 months and 1x 30 months.
Is this a sign of frustration with having to share his mom and hoome etc? He started this maybe a month ago. I feel bad for the other kids and I find myself feeling so bad when I have to remove my son from play and sternly talk to him about this behaviour. The idea of me staying home with him was my dream but I never realized he would be the one to cause my headaches.
Any ideas/suggestions or has anyone else experiences this?
Thanks
