DD's behaviour with me

[LovingMyNewLife]

DD is 2.5yrs and is well behaved and loving with me, her dad, other family members and at nursery.

However if I take her out with her friends she will play nicely for a while but soon starts to hit, bite and this weekend stamps on her friend's head I always say No firmly and tell her that it isn't nice behaviour and encourage her to say sorry to her friend/s when this happens.

I really don't understand tho why this only happens when we are out with her friends and I am there. I thought maybe it was attention seeking cos I am talking to other mums but yesterday she had my full attention and still did this.

The other mums are okay about it to an extent but I can sense they are fed up with it and have commented that some of the kids say that my DD bites or hurts and are conscious of this when coming over to play with us

TBH I'm getting a complex that it is something I am/am not doing with/for DD that is making her act like this but only in my presence.

Any ideas?

Some children get very giddy when they are with other children and, if it is aggressive, you simply have to withdraw them from the play because it's very unfair on the others. Threaten her very severely before you get there that any biting or hitting will mean she goes home straight away and misses out on any treats. Set the expectations high and carry out your threat if she ignores you again. Good luck
