My 4year old is really sociable and loves playing with other children. She has regular play dates and a lot of cousins and 2nd cousins who she sees weekly. I have not had anyone complain about her hitting them.
However, this morning her school teacher said to me that there have been quite a few instances of my dd hitting other children in her class 'sneakily.' The school hadn't told me sooner as they had not been able to prove that my dd was hitting other children. But yesterday my dd was overheard saying to another child "I hit so and so" and that other girl was crying because she had been hit in the face.
we have always been very clear with my dd that you don't hit and she does not hit children outside the school. I guess I'm trying to figure out why she is behaving like this at school?!
