I have a 3 year old DD, she is my youngest. She has a big speech delay so she basically can only say 2 words, she's under the paediatrician and speech therapy, she also has extra funding at nursery.
The issue is that at home she can be a complete terror! She is constantly hitting, biting, kicking and head butting me and her dad but mainly her sister. Sometimes this is when she is frustrated but a lot of the time it just comes completely out of the blue and there appears to be no cause.
She also hits, bites and scratches herself all the time, as well as constantly hitting her head against walls. This mainly happens when she is having a tantrum but can happen up to 50 times a day. I've spoken to the drs and health visitors about this but they always just say she will never do it hard enough to hurt herself so don't worry too much about it. However, she is definitely doing it hard enough to hurt herself and is constantly covered in bruises and bumps, not to mention the fact she's put a hole in the wall from hitting her head so hard.
I've also been told that at nursery they never see any of this behaviour, she behaves brilliantly whilst she is there. Yet the second we get home it's like a volcano that she's been building up all day and she just erupts.
We have (I hope!) a lovely home life, and I just can't tell why all of this stuff only happens at home. It's so frustrating because when I speak to nursery or anyone else about it I don't think they fully understand because they don't witness it themselves. So now I just feel like a rubbish parent
