My DD is 21 months and has been going to nursery since she was 10 months old. She has recently moved into the toddler room and has come on in leaps and bounds. She is currently looking as though she's keen to come out of nappies and wants to go into her big girl bed. All good stuff so far.
However in the past couple of weeks she has developed a nasty streak in that she is in the incident book nearly every day for scratching the other children.
She scratched 2 children today and wouldn't go to DP when he picked her up, so she knew she had done wrong.
Nursery are now talking about having her key worker give her closer supervision, which DP has taken as a sign that they may ask her to leave!
I think it's her age and she will grow out of it, he is quite devastated and doesn't know how to handle it and so just gets very cross with her (eg "she's just got to learn not to do it!!!").
We had a phase of pinching us a month or so ago and I completely ignored it and it went away, however scratching another child means you can't ignore.
Any tips - should we be worried that she is continually doing it and any ideas as to how we help the nursery staff?
