My child two scratching same child at nursery

[flickor]

DD two has a bit of love hate relationship with little boy at nursery but she keeps scratching him. I have spoken to the nursery - we now have a communication booklet. Generally she is a happy little girl but its getting quite serious. We have spoken to her key worker and the nursery manager. I was prepared to take her out last week but we had parents evening and we thought we might find a way forward. I feel very sorry for this little boy and we are just waiting for the complaint. Should I take her out of the nursery ?. Its my first born and my Mum is dead so I am a bit unsure really.

I would expect the nursery to be able to deal with it. Is she just 2 or closer to 3?

They are good and she was ok yesterday, she is only 2 and a quarter

Don't worry about it - when she is in the nursery's care it is up to them to control her behaviour. She is too young for you to be able to do anything about it at the end of the nursery session. Keep her nails short and reinforce the nursery message if she does it at home or with friends. I'm not sure what your nursery say, I think DD's would say "we don't scratch, it's unkind".

My DD has been bitten a couple of times by the same child at nursery (the nursery don't tell me who did it, but DD does). Most parents are reasonable and know that some chidren go through a phase like this and it is just luck as to whether their child is the one doing it.

No, don't take her out of nursery. She is at an age where that sort of behaviour can be quite common. Before they have good speech and can communicate their needs, they do tend to be nore physical with each other.
The nursery should be able to support her.
I encourage my children in the nursery where I work to use their words, not their hands. i also model good speaking and listening in the hope that it rubs off on the children.
I also talk a lot about feelings and i give them the words to use, as it is important that children can recognise and verbalise their own feelings before they begin to understand other's feelings.
I wouldn't worry about it too much, it is all par for the course and really quite normal in that it is a stage of development that some children go through.
