DS is Already A Discipline Problem at School

[becka]

This morning DH called me after he dropped DS off at daycare to let me know that he was going to be late because he had spent too much time watching DS play. DS and another little boy who is about 5 weeks older than DS were "fighting" over a toy phone. They kept taking it away from each other. DH said they just kept pulling on different ends.

Anyway DS's teacher told DH that lately they have had to separate those two quite a bit or it causes problems since they are constantly stealing toys from each other and they both start to get upset.

I never imagined that I would get a report about having to have DS separated from another kid before he is even 10 months old! I wonder what I can look forward to once he makes it to the one year old room?

lots and lots of phone calls from the teachers and principal, and lots of meetings with them as well! Trust me, I know!!!

When my youngest was an infant the teachers had a seminar and came back and told me they saw my DD Part of the training was how to handle an "intense" child. They said my DD was a perfect example.

She was very mobile, crawled at about 4mths. One of the other babies was her age but not mobile at all. He would just sit in one place and play with the toys the teachers gave him. She learned that he couldn't come after her and helped herself to whatever she pleased. The teachers told me that he finally learned how to defend himself, when my DD tried to take a toy that day he grabbed her hair so she couldn't get away. She was not too happy but the teachers said they were having a hard time being real sympathetic.

Was it a Disney phone?

Becka, they are developing their own personalities, my DD used to do the exact same thing and now she's 6 years old and is excellent in school, the teacher told me she's very sensitive with one other little girl in the classroom who has some special needs. If your DS is behaving like this , it does not mean trouble in the future, but I know this is what you think , I did the same exact thing too, LOL.

Not really! LOL!

I actually found the whole thing kind of amusing not something to worry about. At his age I know they don't really understand the concept of sharing. He just knows that he wants the phone to play with so he takes it (as does the other little boy). As he gets to the age when he can understand sharing then I will be worried if he keeps up this behavior.

I don't think so. It was one of those toy rotary phones. He probably doesn't even know what it is because phones sure don't look like that at home.

Nathan sounds like a normal healthy kid to me

I remember when our DD (17) was toddler in day care and, when I came to pick her up one day, they told me she was one of the "biters." Seems there were about 3-4 of the "biters" and they just separated them from the "non-biters" and they seemed to work it out among themselves and soon they were "non-biters" too.
