I care for a just turned one year old who is becoming a little monkey around other children. Nothing too bad but she is beginning to grab other children's hair, and hit them on the face quite often. She can't walk yet but is a very strong (and fast) crawler.
One 3 year old boy in particular is very wary of her, which seems silly as he's at least twice her size but I don't want him to fear coming to my house! Yesterday she actually rugby tackled him to the floor by dragging his legs from under him!
I told her no firmly and moved her away but she keeps 'going for' him. Not sure if she's picked up that he's scared! I keep telling her no and have told mum I move her away and she's fine but it seems to be becoming a persistent problem as its 4 times today's she's either grabbed him or pulled his hair.
Any advice on other ways to curb this behaviour welcome- as I don't want her to turn into a nightmare, she's usually so pleasant xx
