My daughter is 2 almost 3 and in the past couple months she has become very angry and aggresive. She has been suspended from her daycare and continues to "beat up" the other kids. She pulls hair, bites, kicks,pinches, and she does these things to everyone even the teachers. I am at my end and am in desperate need of help. She doesnt act this way at home. She is a normal 2 year old temper tantrums are expected... But what do you do when your chid becomes violent and spiteful? Plz help me I dont have any answers anymore....

What do u do with a 2 year old bully?
You have a problem on your hands, but that's what having kids is all about. A bright point here is that the girl is OK at home. You have to reason with the little lass, and try another kindergarten. It is after all possible that the child had an unpleasnat experience in the previous one. Time often heals things. And perhaps the problem will vanish.

Needs monitoring by: Belamby
She acts normal when at home, so you say. Does this mean that- when at her home and another child is present-she interacts also normally? But outside the home she interacts abnormally.
A) What you have to do is think....is there any child when outside the home, that she behaves normally with?
B) At home will she behave well with another child or adult?
C) Outside the home, will she behave badly with the same people?
D) Is there a trigger, meaning she's all right but suddenly she behaves violently or spitefully?
E) Have you talked this matter over with a paediatrician?
F) Carefully observe, if there is anyone/caregiver/helper/friend that may have hurt or interfered with her-in her attitude she may portray anxiety or fear towards one of these.
In other words she can be normal one moment abnormal the next; so monitoring may provide an answer to this mysterious changing behaviour.
Best wishes, B.

Changes? by: Terri
Hi there. Have there been any drastic changes in her life lately? Is school totally new for her or has she been there awhile and this is new for them too? If she is an only child then some of the anger and acting out might be from having to interact and share with her peers. Just a thought? The other thought that I have is a bit more of a disturbing possibility. Is there ever any time that your daughter is alone with an adult that might be abusing her? Often times, kids will act out what they are experiencing at the hands of others. I genuinely hope that is not the case. Keep us posted.
