Terrible 2's: Toddlers Hitting & Throwing Tantrums
Posted on 1/11/17 at 12:59 pm

I've got a two year old that decided to start hitting kids at daycare last week and being put in time out. He's had 3 "bad" days. Never been much trouble until last week when it's like a switch flipped (I don't think he's ever been in time out before). Daycare asked if anything has changed at home or in his routine because it's noticeable that he's being a little shite (nothing has). They say it's normal, but they, like us, are interested to find out why it's happening and what we can do to change it.
Any advice on what you can do? Anyone go through this with their toddlers? In front of us it's easy. We can talk to him, put him in time out, take away a toy, etc.. To be honest it's never really a problem at home. But no clue how to stop it at daycare. Especially since by the time we can talk with him about it, he has no clue what we're referring to anymore.
I realize OT probably isn't the best place to learn how to raise a kid, but with the degenerates here, I'm sure someone's popped out a little devil.

Daycare = Trashy
eta: I'm no help since my kids didn't hit anyone. My nephew used to hit my son though but his parents were/are weak pushovers. (not saying you are, but sometimes that's the problem I imagine).

normal lasts at least into their teens.

Might as well just accept that he's going to be an alcoholic and unemployable drop-out.
Call it a mulligan and make another baby.

Yea 2's suck....basically because of what you said by the time they get home they have no clue what you are talking to them about. You almost just have to depend on the caregiver to take care of this.
If it's still happening at 3 it is easier to talk to them about what happened during the day then.

Exactly. He does what he wants at home and cant do whatever he wants anywhere. He gets in trouble so he lashes out. Classic bad parenting

Do not waste your time with "talk". Swift action is the only answer. And letting some other kid kick his butt.

Pretty sure he was talking about at the day care, genius.

Supervised play time with other kids in the evenings or on the weekends may help. Something similar to his daycare makeup if possible, but the point is that he needs to learn to play with kids his age without resorting to hitting him. If he does it while you're casually watching, you can address it immediately. If he doesn't do it, reinforce the positive behavior and tell him that is how you want him to act.

He's never been in timeout at daycare dipshit. He's in timeout at home any time he acts up. I meant it's not a problem at the house to discipline him. If we see him acting up we can take him out the room and calm him down, or put him in time out if necessary. Can't do that when you aren't there right as it's happening.

May have to look into this. Just weird that he's typically been very social and plays well with the other kids at daycare (at least that's what we're told by the "teachers"). It's not like he was recently introduced to it. It's just within the past week that he's had issues.

Ours is doing the same sort of thing, but instead of hitting, he's biting. It's the same thing with us, he doesn't do it at home and if he does we correct it immediately. The problem with us is he is an only kid, so he has no interaction with kids around his age except at daycare and we don't get to see that.
They all go through these stages and it's frustrating but all we can do is correct him when we see it and teach him right from wrong.

He goes to timeout now. He had never been before these incidents due to not causing trouble. My wife made him apologize to the teacher and other kids this morning, but it's not like he knows what's going on.
