Child who hits
Please let me know your thoughts..
In my daycare I have a recently turned 2 year old who comes to my house 2-3 days a week, a recently turned 1 year old who comes full-time and a 6 month old who comes full-time.
The 2 year old constantly hits, pushes, lays on, etc. and is just plain mean to the 1 year old. This seems to happen for no reasons at times, the 2 year old will just walk up to the 1 year old and hit, push, etc.
I've tried time out, talking to, redirection, ignoring,....., everything I can think of. I feel bad for the 1 year old having to go through this. I trying to teach the 1 year old to not hit the 6 month old during this time also and am worried of mixed signals.
What should I do with this 2 year old? I've told the parents that this can't keep happening, but unsure where to go from here......
