Hi all, I'm completely baffled by my LO behaviour at preschool and hoping someone can help or advise.
He has often had to be told to use kind hands and up until around 3-4 weeks ago he was doing really well and thriving. Something all of a sudden changed in him and he started being stubborn - refusing to clean up or do little things he was asked, hitting others again and not playing nicely with others.
It seems that every day I am collecting him and the staff are telling me he has been hitting or lashing out at others and today out of nowhere he has even scratched one poor child.
His behaviour at home is never this bad, and its certainly not behaviour he sees at home.
I have asked the staff to monitor him properly and figure out why he does it.
His communication isn't brilliant for his age and I have often put his hitting down to the fact he wasnt able to verbally express that he didnt like something but his speech has improved and he now can say he doesnt want to do things or if he doesnt like things so this isn't washing with me now.
I feel like I'm the only one and on one occasion I was told that I he is the only child behaving in this way which obviously makes me feel even worse and that I am failing him as a parent.
I have tried to talk to him about his behaviour but he doesn't listen and doesnt tell me why he has acted in the way he has. I just dont know what to do any more.
I've involved the health visitor but when I did hos behaviour had massively improved and its gone backwards again.
