Child has been coming to me since she was 8 months old. She is now 3.5. I have never had an issue with her behaviour but recently she started pushing and taking toys away from the younger children. I posted on here to try and get some advice and after doing some research on the Internet I came up with some strategies to try and help her.
Anyway her behaviour is getting worse and i need some guidance on how to deal with this.
The pushing is getting worse and she always does it to the younger children. She pushed a child so hard from behind on Friday that he was very lucky not to smash his face on the floor. She was twisting another child's hair round her hands and when the child screamed for her to stop she laughed and kept doing it She picks toys up in my home and throws them across the room telling the younger ones to do it too, she will make very loud silly noises like la la la la la so that the younger ones will copy her and she thinks it's funny. On Friday when I was observing her with another two people she was Deliberately doing anything to torment the younger ones to make them cry and then when she succeeded she ran and hid behind something and was peeking round to see if I was coming to tell her off. My cm friends both couldn't believe what they were witnessing and in the end I was so cross with her. I couldn't wait for her to go home and was not impressed at all.
When it's just me and her you couldn't get a better child but when their is others with me she is just horrible.
Somebody please tell me how I deal with this. If she carries on I know I will end up telling her mum not to bring her back and I don't want to do this as she was my first minded child and she has always been no problem.
This might seem normal to some people but Ime finding it a nightmare and really couldn't do this job everyday if it was normal.
