Mindee whom i had problems with destructful behaviour early on and who has been ok for a good few weeks now, has just been playing with dd in playroom, other children have left for day and theyre playing nicely..go into kitchen to make dinner..hear a loud clatter and dd comes in crying.

(spoke to both separatly to ensure story is correct)..dd had toys phone, mindee wants it..dd says no..mindee snatches it..dd says she wants it back..mindee thows it at wall then punches dd in back(shes 3 so now a knock out blow but even so)
after asking each what went on, have given mindee time out and had to throw phone away as plastic cradle it now snapped off and would be charp for them.
already told her mumshe had bit the head of several toys and shes just rang to say she coming to collect early tonight..how do i broach it without saying her dd has been a little b*gger?

Do you have somethign like the NCMA incedent and accident book?

Just asking as you could put what happened in the book and then get her to sign it. I know that thisis what I have done in the past, and suddenly parents take notice of what you are saying instead of just a "don't be naughty" etc.

I would raise the subject tonight as then you have done it straight away rather than "A couple of days ago this happened".

I think u need to mention that if the destroying of toys happen again you will have no choice but to bill her as you have already had a number of toys distroyed.
I have a 3yr ds and he can behave badly at times like pushing not wanting to share but he knows that destroying toys in a no no. Obviously the other behaviour is but in the heat of the moment kids will be kids but its not something that should happen all the time! if any of that makes sense

spoke to mumand let her know id logged it nd told her she would need to sign(forgot to do it as her dd kicked off when she was due to go home!)..said i dont mind rough and tumble but i am big on sharing and def do not having violent behaviour towards anyone in this house..said it was unlike her to be violent, but then..she came up to my dd whilst on my knee and hit her in face with two plastic maracas!!!

mum was very good/stern with her much more so than i thought she would but her dd took no notice and started crying (crocodile tears)..seems this must usually work..she even decided she would climb up one of our storage units????..her mum said xxx NO and she ignored her, then her phone rang so i ssaid xxx NO we dont climb on the units and she screamed blue murder!!!!...can honestly say i was glad to see back of her tonight and for the last few days shes been a joy to have around!..such a change!
