I wouldn't be able to keep a child like this. It's just not safe for the other kids or you if she cannot control herself.

I can't possibly have my eyes on one child the entire day, so constant one on one watching wouldn't work for me. I'd imagine it wouldn't work for other providers either. Putting her in a play yard, away from the rest of the group when you need to be doing other tasks is fine - but I don't want a child in my care that needs this much supervision.

I would have to term, I would suggest professional councelling and a nanny until mom and a professional can get this behavior under wraps.

I don't agree that all violent/agressive behaviors are triggered... some children are sociopaths and tend to be violent/agressive - these kinds of kids are rarely triggered, they are born this way. I'm not say this is the case here, but I wanted to put that out there.

Best of luck!
