I have a 2.5 yr old girl in my care for about 3 months now. When she signed up with me mom stated she had been kicked out of daycares for her agressiveness and biting. I figured I would give it a try.
She was fine for about a month, then she started biting a boy her age. Now it has progressed to full on hitting and pushing of everyone from 1 yr olds to 5 yr olds. Also the boy her age that she was bitting is now showing agressive behavior and never has(I have had him his whole life).
My problem is I am pretty sure this is not just a stage for her as she has been kicked out of several places. I also don't want the boy to start behaving like her as I worry he is acting like her because he thinks its right. There is not much you can do to get her to understand she is being wrong ("timeout" is a joke to her she just laughs).
I am at a loss on what to do. I don't want to get rid of this child but I also don't like what she is doing to our group.
