I know it’s a stage….

Hey there, Moms! I guess we are now fully in the terrific twos? I come here to ask random questions and today is no different! Our daughter has been in daycare since she was about one. And things have been going pretty well, she likes the people and the other kids. But every once in a while, started at 20-ish months, she’ll come home with the scratch and the teacher said that she just knows how to “fight”* Most of the time they say it’s not a big deal but over the last two months it’s just gotten a little bit more intense, one scratch every 3 to 4 weeks. Before she would only swat kids when they would take her toys or come after her. Today was the first day that she went after a kid that did nothing to her. According to the teachers. Now I’m pretty objective, and honestly at home she does do little things here and then but it’s nothing that would cause alarm. We correct the behavior and move on. Because I’ve seen toddlers in my life and in other experiences, they are learning and can get a confused as they try to figure out their emotions. But honestly, this news broke me a little bit. They aren’t thinking about kick her out. In fact her teacher is so wonderful and kind that she really wants to help Simone so she gave us some tips. But if you have any tips to support a child that’s having a difficult time. Any suggestions (not diagnosis) would be wonderful! *fight is toddlers just swatting at one another. 😩
