A lady that I had helped out when starting her daycare, and am in contact with pretty regularly to help answer questions along the way, has said that all six of her daycare kids (including her own) bite, scratch, hit, etc. She talks about it like it's just a phase that toddlers go through and its not a big deal. She is FINALLY terminating one family because their 3yr old has been scratching kids (mostly the providers own child) for a while now and she says "she's not a baby anymore, she knows better" But I don't understand how it can be OK for a 2yr old and then suddenly not ok for a 3yr old?
I have done in-home for over 10 years, and worked with kids for over 20 years. I have had some kids that will do it a few times, but it gets nipped in the bud and isn't usually a problem. I just don't understand how it is at the point it is with hers.:confused:
I know that toddlers do go through a physical "phase" but it seems weird to me that it is all of her kids and doesn't seem to be getting any better. She tells them not to, I assume, but it's not really changing anything.
Do you have hitters/biters/scratchers? Do ALL of your toddlers do it on a regular basis? How do you handle it when a child is physical?
