I have a four and a half year old been with me a couple of months now and has a difficult background.
I also have three of my own, 20 months, four and ten years old my monster 20 month old is going through the biting stage (iv noted when she does it and I think its done out of frustration due to not talking much so im now working with her on her language) she has bitten my minded child and my son and pointed out to the parent that the biting is not just aimed at her child.
thing is, as young children do, they all bicker over one thing or another. i tell mum the major things that have happened that day ie child has been bitten, child ran off while out and never listened when asked to stop (in the park ect)
do you tell you parent all the 'naughty' things the child has done that day or do you just mention all the 'major' things or things they keep doing a number of times when you have asked them not to and explained to them why ect
mum said to me tonight after i told her some of the things minded child has been doing of late and she said i think his is behaving like this (making things up to get others into trouble) because your children are jealous of my child.
Iv not told mum all the little bickering things (not sharing, or being a little crafty with others to get what he wants, normally with my younger one ) as she has been having a hard time, but after seeing him try and get others into trouble today i told mum.
yes i can accept that maybe some of my children need to learn to share me, and im unlucky to have a biter all of my own but surely this is not unheard of for an 18 month old?
Any pointers or advice welcolm.
