Behavior in 3 year old
Show your support
If all else fails, you could look into behavioral therapy. My daughter is on the spectrum, so we had ours through EI and has to be done virtually so it wasn't as impactful as I think it could have been in person, but if you can find someone who offers it near you, it may be a good resource for you.
Hi mom 👋🏻 I work in this field💖 I would kindly ask the preschool director, or lead teacher first "One of my friends who works in early Ed is wondering if I get him assessed." & I don't want to sound rude, but these assessments are easily obtained by us professionals. It's posted all over our teaching government sites, community colleges have free assessments as well. There is a plethora of help for us to assess children. I can send you the assessment myself for his age bracket, it's very simple. It's not like you'd think some psychological thing. No. It's very easy. & You may even enjoy doing it on weekends with him. Basically you just observe him & follow the questions. This is if the daycare isn't open or willing to assess him. MOST have zero issue hopping on an assessment for free. It's not an assessment to gauge if they are ready for kindergarten. It's a normal development assessment. I just don't want you placing him in behavior therapy unless it's the very last step. I think his behavior
From a professional standpoint, is absolutely normal. This is his first time starting school? Very normal. Feel free to PM me I'm going to send you some chapters from the college textbook of early Ed for his age group to help you too💖 no one should ever feel like "oh my gosh, is my child bad?" NO. Your child is absolutely a normal silly rude emotional 3 year old right now unless proven otherwise💖
Tell his daycare your friend 😂 me lol, is wondering if they can assess him. A behavior chart isn't necessary until after assessment.
When I ask my three year old why she does something she will occasionally tell me but when she is embarrassed about her actions or nervous about my reaction she’ll say she doesn’t know why she did it. In those situations I try to think back to what happened before she acted out to see if I can figure out what caused her to act out. If there’s nothing recent I can think of often it’s something that happened earlier in the day, maybe she didn’t get something she wanted or I reacted badly to her earlier and she’s still upset about it. If this has been going on since he started pre school I’d look into if he’s not ready to be away from you yet or feeling resentment about having to go. This is a hard phase but it will pass. Good luck.
