She behaves (fairly) well at home but nursery recently told me she has started to become naughty at nursery, pushing the other children and taking their toys. I have explained to her that hurting others is not nice and she knows this but still keeps doing this. She herself used to come home telling me a few of the older children used to hit and pinch her.

Yesterday we were out shopping and she ran up and pushed a complete stranger, I was mortifiedShock. Needless to say she got told off and told there would be no storytime at bedtime.

My other DS is now six months old and she has been good with him so not sure if this has anything to do with it?

With her starting school next year is there anything I can do to nip this behaviour in the bud? I really do not want a little terror on my hands!

Any ideas and help really appreciated. Thanks!

Hi, I'm sorry I can't offer much in the way of advice but I do think the new baby could have something to do with her behaviour.i.e she is attention seeking. My 3.6 d.s behaviour has deteriated since his baby sis was born (4 months) he is very clingy, massive tantrums as soon as he can't get his own way and just wants to be with me all the time. My d.s is fine with his sis but his "bad" behaviour started a month ago. I think it's when they realise the new baby is here to stay. Can you find some time when you are exclusively with d.d, i know this helps with my d.s as he gets frustrated that I am always feeding the baby. So maybe some extra time with just the two of you (if this is poss) would help?

Thanks Talou, I spend time with her on her own and try not devote all my time to her baby brother. Mummy and her time doing painting, going for walks, toddler group, etc whilst my mum babysits I was determined not to let her feel left out.

She has just pushed him as he was playing on the floor. Does anyone have any tips to deal with this behaviour? Finding it upsetting that she is doing this.
