Hi everyone,
I have a very young group that includes 3 one year old's (including my own) one of the one year old dck's is very rough when he plays.
They are all at the stage where they are just starting to walk, so they all cling to the furniture and such while making their way around the room.
This DCK runs while clinging to the furniture and when he comes up on another child he body checks and rams his way past them to get to toys before them, and climbs over and tramples them when they fall...he has no idea that he is hurting them and looks confused when they cry. Any suggestions about how to deter this behaviour?
He also steals toys by ripping them out of the other's hands roughly.
This sort of rough behaviour is starting to rub off on the others and I have noticed the others trying to hit him when he approaches....
I have scolded him and redirected him but he isn't any better yet.
