Firstly, apologese if I seem really over the top but my latest toddler issue has really upset me.
DS (2y10m) recently started preschool & been doing well. Then this week at a playgroup another mother accused him of biting her son ( I didn't see the incident as I was on the tea making rota, friends who were keeping an eye on him for me didn't see it or even the mother of the victim, just what the boy involved said). I apologised profusely, it's never happened before. I secretly didn't believe it & DS hasn't the vocab to tell me his version of events.
Then I picked him up from preschool today, for his key worker to tell me he's been spiteful, hitting & pushing other children unprevoked ( her exact phrase )
So it would appear I have a violent 2 year old ( I hate any kind of violence, due to issues when I was younger). I blame myself ( had PND until he was 18 months).
So I ask anyone who has been with children like this, does it change? Or will he always be violent? How do I cope with a child who behaves like this?
Any advice would be great, as I feel so angry with myself that this is where I'm at.
