Just looking for a bit of advice really from those who look after a lot of kids (ds is my only one and is 18 mnths old).
He goes to a childminder 3 days a week. She is brilliant with him. He had been there since he was 11 months old so knows her well and seems to like it there.
She has mentioned lately that he is grabbing toys off the other little boy she looks after a(he's about 22 months old I think) a lot more than usual and the other day he kicked this other little boy when they were out in the buggy. She had to say 'no don't do that' about 6 times as he did it again each time she said no
.
We haven't done much discipline up to this point but I'm wondering what is appropriate in this instance. I got the impression my childminder wanted us to agree the limits etc and what we would be happy with in terms of discipline. What would be a good way to handle this?. My feeling is that he is too young for a 'naughty step' etc but a bit old to be allowed to just get away with it.
BTW he is the same at home and saying 'no' just make him do it more with that 'glint in his eye' which I know is him testing boundaries.
