Naughty 2 yr old

I everyone

Haven't been here for ages, but really could do with some help!

My youngest has never been as caring as my eldest, but recently she has been really physically nasty at home against the big one. There is one little girl at nursery who I know is bad - mainly because I know her Mum well, she has been hitting, strangling other kids, and this week biting mine!

Today the little one took a run at the big one pushing her across the room into their dolls house. I just don't know what to do with her. Time out is not working. I out her there, then explain what she did wrong, she knows it was wrong, goes to say sorry, but then not long later...

At nursery she's good as gold, so I can't get any help there which is annoying, although glad she's not hurting other kids obviously, but it means we're alone!

I've been googling, but the thing is, she's not angry when she does it, she just, does it.

My husband wants her away from the other girl, but that means changing nursery, and losing my friend

Any advice?

Sorry, this is longer than I thought it would be.

Its possibly a boundary thing maybe
If shes good at nursery then theres a reason shes doing at home
Does she get enough 1:1 time with you?

It sounds like you think her behaviour may be as a result of your friends daughters behaviour towards her?

Personally I would raise it as an issue with the nursery. Yes your LO is doing well, but what are they doing to manage the other one who has hurt your LO and causing problems for others? I think there is more they could do.

I would also speak to the friend about it. Yes you do risk losing your relationship with them, but is it worth the cost of your LO behaving like she is? I wouldnt rush to move her, but I would speak to everyone involved to try and get it sorted first.

Just keep doing what your doing at home, praising positive behaviour and using naughty step etc for negative behaviour.
