Hi,
My son (2 years old) has started pushing my daycare children. It started with fairly gentle pushes, but he has started pushing harder. Today he pushed two children hard enough for them to fall over. He does not push for any apparent reason- it is not out of frustration or related to fighting over a toy. He seems to think it is a game- if they cry or tell him to stop, he continues, and when I tell him "No pushing", he laughs.
I'm wondering if it is due to jealousy, since he sees me paying attention to these children and sees them playing with "his" toys?
How would you recommend responding to this behavior?
Thank you in advance!
