I have just put my 2 1/2 year old boy in a new daycare and he is a total bruiser - pulling hair violently on other kids, kicking, headbutting, etc. My daycare provider has told me they will give it "a couple of weeks" and if this doesn't change, they will give me the boot. He was previously in a different daycare, he was hitting and doing some of these behaviours there, but they used the "time out" method and it worked fine. He knew that what he did was wrong and he was sorry about it. At the new daycare they seem to want to treat him like he is older and understands reasoning. They don't want to use time outs, because they dont believe in that. I am limited on my daycare choices in this community... what can I do about my boy to make him stop being so violent?

Is there anything going on in his life that he could be acting out from? I do know that my son acted out when his home life was getting too chaotic. I don't know if ther eis something possibly bothering him but I would suggest trying to make sure when he is with you that he gets lots of love and attention. Hopefully a few weeks of it will help him turn around in his behavior. Other than that, I don't know what to suggest.

I agree with Smileyfish about trying to figure out if something is bothering your son. Does he have a hard time separating? Does he have anxiety about "mommy coming back?" Does your son behave like this at home? I would try to find the root of his "frustrations" and go from there.
Best of luck!
