Children misbehave at daycare and teachers send messages

“TLDR: 6 year old going through change acting defiant and looking for appropriate discipline options. My son is just starting kindergarten and is adjusting to new routines is tired and all that. I empathize. But some of the behavior the last couple days has been the most defiant disrespectful behavior I’ve seen from him. I’ve up to this point believed in simple and logical discipline. That’s not working today. It really hit a head tonight we were visiting my grandmother at the hospital (she’s doi”

“5 y/old daughter just started reception (uk) at a very good school. The teacher has spoken to me now 6 times about her bad behaviour. She’s very intelligent, can read, do pretty advanced maths for her age and is being met intellectually. The class is small (22 kids) and incredibly supportive. The main issue is silliness and not listening to instructions. Outside of “learning time” she’s basically a loose cannon. In carpet time she edges closer to friends and tries to distract them or make funny”

“I recently put my 28 month old speech delayed toddler in day care. she’s normally a happy baby but I recall the day care director saying something in regards to her in passing “ if she doesn’t stop pulling all the toys out she will be in the high chair”. I thought she was joking but since that “joke“ my LO has an intense reaction to being strapped in anything. On the car ride home from daycare Friday she unbuckled her self facing backwards of course and I nearly had a heart attack. Today , she w”

“I am a preschool teacher and I teach 2-3 year olds in my class. I have been having problems starting a couple weeks ago that when its time to come inside one child will run away. Two other friends will see this and think its funny to follow, some times one of the three will listen. Before its time to come inside I always let my students know 10 and 5 minutes before. I will walk up to the ones who I am having trouble with and let them know how much time we have left and what I expect when its tim”

“I just feel bad it happened and want to discourage it from happening again. Is there anything we can do at this stage, or is this just a thing that happens? submitted by /u/_Choose__A_Username_ [link] [comments]”

“Our one year old just started at a home daycare. On day 3 we were informed that if our child wasn’t napping independently by the end of the week then we were being dismissed. She states that he is disrupting nap time for the others. He otherwise is doing ok, just a little cranky because he goes all day without napping. Is this normal? What do others do if their children need assistance falling asleep at daycare? This is our first daycare experience and feel like failures. submitted by &#32”

“Hi all. Our 11 month old is about 5 weeks at daycare (3 days a week) and received an incident report for biting other kiddos today. We take precautions, on mornings he seems like teething is a pain we give him a little Tylenol before we go per pediatricians rec, we clip a teething toy onto him, and at home when he bites one of us we immediately tell him we don't bite, and redirect him to a teething toy. They told us once a couple weeks ago that he was biting so we made sure to pay extra atte”

“At a Loss! Biting and acting out at daycare Help! I have a three and a half year old. Frustration as old as time. She has been biting, hitting and throwing toys around at daycare she has gotten 6 or 7 incident reports. Her teaches say she is actively not listening. Drop off is almost always her screaming for me or my partner and running to the door. We have discussed it with her, told her it’s not okay, taken away her trip home snack and have done early bed time. At home she is mostly fine until”

“Over the last few weeks, my 4 year old’s teachers have reported that he’s started hitting classmates. This is completely new behavior. He’s been in daycare/school since he was 2 and has never had this issue before. He went from a class of 9 last year to 18 this year, with a new teacher and mostly new classmates. He does have some speech difficulties, struggles with transitions, and has big feelings. I’ve also noticed he’s started swatting at me occasionally at home, which is new too, but when I”

“I really need some advice. So backstory, my son had been in daycare since a year old and he is almost 4. He has had 2 close friends in there that he sees Monday-Friday all day long. Our daycare has had some major issues so many parents are switching. The parents of these kids is switching to another daycare around 5 minutes away. We have two options. \-Switch to that same daycare (25 minutes away) \-Switch to a daycare next to our home (2 minutes away), and where his elementary school is going t”

“My 2 year old started preschool recently. The first few weeks she behaved very well. Now that she's more comfortable, she's misbehaving: * Removing shoes and running away laughing * Not taking naps (distracting the napping kids) * Fighting diaper change (we are actively potty training) * Doing the opposite of what's being asked and laughing She does similar things at home. However at home we correct her behavior with consequences. For example, if you take your shoes off you have to g”

“I just want to say it IS possible! Our toddler has been enrolled in two different daycare centers. The last one exclusively called my husband if our girl was ill or to report an incident. This new one also just sends out messages through their app & via email, and the only time there's been an emergency (fever) my husband saw the message quickly and picked her up. edit: to be clear, there were many illnesses/incidents at her first daycare, especially as we were navigating a new food alle”

“My daughter is almost 15 months and has recently began hitting, slapping, tantrums. I know it’s normal but I was not prepared. Daycare has given us reports now about her hitting and today we were told she was “stomping” on another toddler…. I have no idea how she would even know to do that and I have never seen her do it at home. My only thought is she could’ve been trying to sit on them lol… she does like to sit on people (playfully) but I don’t want to sound like I’m making excuses. I just fee”

“Seeking advice from other parents. My 18 month old daughter attends daycare full-time. Over the past few months this summer, she has consistently been getting bitten at daycare. She will come home with large bruises on her arms. The daycare files incident reports and informs us after we pick her up. It has probably been happening on average 2x every single week for the past 3-4 months. Some weeks it happens more than others. Then we might have a week where it doesn't happen and we think thin”

“Hello dads and moms, First of all sorry if the terms are not right, I'm translating from French lol Our 3.5 yo has a new educator since late August. She seems to not like her new educator. Last Monday, before going down the stairs to her locker, she said "no, I'm scared!" So I asked her about what and she said the name of her educator. When my wife went to get her in the evening, she heard the educator tell the children "okay, it's now time to get your mattress, no cry”

“We just got a note from the teacher that our 5 yo is disruptive and calling other kids names at school. It seems like he’s been doing it for a while. I’ve seen him do it at the playground too but usually I can catch it and stop it. He did this at preschool a bit and with his older cousins to get attention I think? My partner and I don’t use bad words or name calling. From what I’ve seen he gets frustrated fairly easily when other people don’t do what he wants. He can also get competitive and ups”

“So my 2 and half year old girl is at Daycare and we got told today she is biting people. Haven't been told how many times she has done it, but she is. My question is, have you experienced something similar and if so, how did you handle it submitted by /u/HullCity7 [link] [comments]”

“Tl/dr 5 year old son is hitting and being physically dangerous at school. Need help!!! Son is 5, just started kindergarten, he has already been suspended from school twice. He is having a lot of impulse control issues. Wife and I are feeling lost and like failures. He is a really smart kid, great fine motor control, ahead of his peers in a lot of areas except emotional control. Not going to lie, wife and I have been through a lot the past few years, health, emotional, financial issues plus deali”

“So I’ve seen a lot of responses on other posts saying their kids exaggerate or lie often but I don’t believe that is the case here. My son is usually happy and okay going to and from his learning center but tonight while we were laying down for bed he told me his teacher hit him. So I asked where, he said on his arm and showed me. I asked him why and he said because he wouldn’t lay down. He has a hard time sometimes going down for a nap or bed at first. When he is disciplined at home and it upse”

“My kiddo was informed that someone is spreading rumors that they threatened people and the school. Person claims they have screen shots of these conversations. Unfortunately before kiddo heard of rumors, they blocked Person and deleted their chat, so kiddo can't even looks to see what they are talking about. Kiddo is 10000% nothing was ever said or could be construed as a threat of violence against a person or place. May said they hate people or the school but kiddo is a super woke, empathet”

“Does your daycare have a biting/behavior consequence model? My son (18 months) has been bitten now TWICE just this week (it’s only Wednesday) and the daycare does not have a consequence model with any early dismissal or suspension. These bites are actually leave teeth marks and scars, like its so sad to see. This is a locally owned, private, boutique style daycare/preschool that is NOT cheap in town. Both bites were unprovoked! My som was just in this little boys BUBBLE, once during the morning”

“My son is 4 and the past week he transitioned into a new classroom with a new teacher, with all his friends it was like a school year reset( it’s a daycare) since he went to visit his new classroom and teacher he was in kinda of a denial and i thought aww he loves his teachers… In his first day he had a really hard time time adjusting and wouldn’t nap, I picked him up early because it was easier at the time, dad and I had a talk to him and he kept saying he wants a new school, a different one! W”

“Hey 👋🏾 just coming to get some advice. I have a 25mo old he’s usually pretty chill and calm but yesterday another kido at daycare had a toy he wanted and after he wasn’t able to take it from him, he smacked the kid in the face. He did go to timeout but I feel so bad because the little boys face was red. I saw the video footage, it happened exactly as they explained and he could have been suspended but they refrained this time and sent him to time out. We’ve addressed it with our son but its ha”

“My 13 month old has started poking other children in the eye and pulling hair frequently at daycare. His teachers have said it seems like curiosity rather than frustration but they haven't had much success with redirecting him in the moment. He does try to grab my face when we're laying together and I try to calmly take his hands and redirect to something else. He's persistent but I can eventually shift his focus. I understand why his teachers have trouble redirecting him when they&#”

“My 8 month old has been going to daycare since she was 6 months old and until now it has been great. We love the facility, we love the staff, they've worked with us on getting my velcro little one used to strangers and taking bottles. But today when we went to pick her up we discovered that she was bit for a second time by the same toddler. The first time was a week ago and they called us immediately and let us know an action plan was in place for the other child. Today they called us to let”

“My 4.5 year old son (will be 5 in October) keeps misbehaving in daycare. We receive messages almost daily about different incidents, some for example: him putting his hands on other kids, throwing dirt in their eyes, using the bathroom on himself and saying "because he wanted to" when they ask why, stepping on a child's arm because they fell and he thought it was funny to hurt them more, using potty words in the classroom and laughing about it when the teachers try to redirect, and”

“Hi. My daughter recently turned 6 and attends a summer daycare with other children around her age. Recently, she's been having issues with a 7 year old girl. From what I've heard, this child is a known bully, and many of the other kids tend to do what she says. My daughter is very strong willed and isn't easily pushed around, which seems to have made her a target. We've spent time practicing ways she can handle the situation on her own, such as standing up for herself, ignoring t”
