Two year old bully!

[Mamabear12]

I can not believe this, but there is a two year old bully in my daughters nursery! When I picked up my daughter from nursery the girl lunged at my daughter making a growling noise. Then when I was helping my daughter get her coat on she told my daughter "I don't like your coat." then she mimicked the way I said my daughters nick name in a nasty way. I think this girl might have been three bc she was taller then the other kids, but anyway, how can some kids be so nasty and such a young age?? My daughter is so sweet and kind! Makes me so mad that there is a girl in the class that is so rude. I wonder why some kids are like this? Do they learn from the parents??

They either learn it from family or are reacting to family.

Family being whoever they spend most time with. In my DD's nursery there was a boy aged 3 who always needed to be the centre of attention and constantly hit, bit and kicked all the girls and ruined their games and paintings etc. In his case he was passed between domestic maids as his parents moved around the globe, both working full time.

Of course it doesn't mean that all DCs of working parents behave badly, it all depends on how home life is managed. Just like families with a SAHP.

I'd speak to the nursery and see if it's something they've noticed or if she's just taken a dislike to one DC.

Don't be silly, a 2 year old is not a bully.

Nothing to do with her home life either - just going through a phase or having a rough day... Lots of toddlers act out, have you really never seen this before??

This girl was def not just having a rough day. I have seen toddlers fight over a toy or push etc...when they are over tired etc. That is normal. This girl was straight up trying to be mean to my daughter. Anyway, I will just monitor and if I see this girl behaving like this again, I will ask the teacher to speak to her parents.
