Maybe get a referral to a paediatrician. Sounds like some underlying issues. All the best :heart:

If she canā€™t talk yet. She also canā€™t tell you whatā€™s wrong or what hurts. Biting could mean her mouth hurts.
It also could mean. Maybe kids or someone is being mean to her and if sheā€™s nonverbal then she canā€™t speak out. Just lash out. Thereā€™s always an underline reason to behaviors.
Shes obviously having a hard time with something. :mag::male_detective: time to investigate some possible triggers

She needs counseling

Definately get her assessed right away! My daughter is 5 and has behavioural issues amoung other things. After 2 years were still exploring autism, adhd, odd. Sheā€™s also got a speech delay so communication is hard for her. Thereā€™s so many doors open once you know what is going on. Also donā€™t ever let anyone else beat you down about your child. People seem to think that they know you and think you are the problem when youā€™re not.

Definitely praising positive behavior. If siblings are in the same class she may be competing for attention. Try to spend some one on one time with her. Even just reading a book at night. Just sounds like attention seeking to me but Iā€™m definitely not a professional.

Talk to her. Ask her how she feels. Help her to use words rather than acting out. Make it clear her actions are wrong but resolve to invest a lot of time- do things with her, involve her in day to day things. Shopping, cooking, little things she can do to feel valued and included. Reassure her that you love her. Work with a child psychologist to help her now whilst she is young.

She needs therapy, sounds like oddā€¦oppositional defiant disorder

Honestly it could be a million different things.
I would start with medically clearing her first
Make sure there is no underlying health concern then if everything comes back fine then start trying different things to redirect this behavior. Every child is there own person sometimes what works for one does not work for the otherā€¦ sit down and talk to her . That works wonders with my 4 year old . Sometimes she just feels like no one is listening to her because they are so little they sometimes feel like they canā€™t get there point across which is frustrating !

My son was getting suspended from school daily in kindergarten we got him in support Inc. Day treatment program and it has totally changed him they teach them coping skills and u also learn along the way now heā€™s in school and the principal says heā€™s done a 180 and is the perfect student

Exercise as punishment! Itā€™ll burn off any anger, burn off excess energy, and build endorphins. Works for all of my kids. I also made my kids bite lemons or peppers to help stop the biting.

Look for a resource in the area for behavioral support/therapeutic support. The earlier you get support the better the support is. I hear about children displaying behaviors at 3 and 6 and parents write it off because there small and can manage but when they get bigger it gets worse

Does she have consequences for her actions?

Yā€™all preaching about hitting your kids get real quiet when momma posts about her husband hitting heršŸ‘šŸ»

Google TRS. Other parents give great reviews

Do it back to her . What ever she doing to others have them do it back to her and let her know how it feels . It hurts and you donā€™t like it done to you so stop it and after sheā€™s calm down have a talk with her telling her thatā€™s not allowed and their are going to be consequences when you do those things to others and see what the issue is why sheā€™s doing all these things talk with her if thatā€™s not working then she just throwing a fit and being a butt and needs it done back to her

Well sounds like there was never any punishment when these behaviors BEGAN. They donā€™t just happen over night. And she should be kicked out of daycare until she learns to behave. No adult or child should have to go through that from a child. Might want to get the child checked out. Could be a mental/medical reason for such behavior.

Some may like this statement and some may not. It is my opinion and my opinion only. Decades ago, medical professionals did not have the resources nor the medication to diagnose children with these disorders. Discipline was the route of action taken, it seemed to be very effective. For instance my BFā€™s son who resided in my house for extended period of times was diagnosed with ADHD at an early age. He was given medication, not by our choice. We ran a very strict house with three teenage boys residing with me. Bad grades and bad behavior are not acceptable. He would have bad behavior at his moms house. He knew he could not do those behaviors at my house because there would be consequences. His behavior slowly became better. He was taken off the medication. It was our responsibility as parents to discipline children, not make excuses, medicate and be their best friends. Social media, video games, electronics have taken the place of parenting and until people realize this, it will continue. It takes time and effort to raise children.

One thing you could try is taking preservatives, colours and additives out of her diet. Even an overload of certain fruits can trigger reactions. Try to get hold of Sue Dengateā€™s bood Fed up. It helped me. PS if it works remember the reactions will get less as they grow up. Body ratio to food.

Some behaviors are simply not acceptable. My behavior expectations were high for my children; especially in public. One time my daughter was bothering her brother in church when she was 3. I took her to the van. After a minute, she wanted to go back inside. I kept her in the van with me for the rest of the service and during coffee hour. I told her that her behavior had been unacceptable and I would not allow her to misbehave in church. My daughter is 25 now; she says she remembers this. We went to church every Sunday. My daughter enjoyed being in choir, the bell choir, singing solo, helping with Bible school, attending church camp every year (she was a camp counselor for 2 summers during college). I let my children know that I expected certain behaviors; and they would miss out on things if they didnā€™t behave.
Perhaps with your daughter; you could keep her at home a few days with you. Donā€™t let her watch TV, or have fun during the time she would be in daycare. Tell her she has to have acceptable behavior at daycare; and that is what you expect. Let her know that she is missing out on playing with friends, and doing fun things at daycare; then limit your interactions with her for the day. Remind her a few times during the day that she needs to spend the day thinking about how to be good at school. If she misbehaves when she returns to daycare; be ready to take the next day to be at home with her. Repeat, even if you have to use personal days. Follow through with expectations for certain behaviors everywhere. It takes a lot of patience and consistency on your part. Good luck.

This is a mental health need and sounds like a possible diagnosis that I work with on the daily.

Get her to a professional for evaluation.

As a special education teacher, I would have her evaluated by a psychologist. Then enroll her in a ABA Therapy. A behaviorist analyst can do an analysis and see what is triggering the behavior then she can receive therapy for the behavior. Definitely need to figure out why the behavior is occurring. Then come up with a plan. I would also contact your school district, because at 3 students can start receiving services. The state you live in may also have resources to help.

How about going to your pediatrician to discuss this behavior. There could be a physical or brain issue. Try eliminating certain foods from her diet . Less sugar, dyes, artificial ingredients. Maybe she needs more rest. So much to discuss. All the best mom

Have you asked her "what she wants and what can you do to help her "
Sometimes all they want is to know that someone is listening and cares what they are saying without judgement

Ask your doctor for a referral to a play therapist they specialise in children and can find out what is going on with your child. Best of luck x

Perhaps the staff at the daycare could refer her to professionals who can figure out whatā€™s going on? Sounds like wee girl is unable to express herself in the usual manner. I wonder for a start how her oral language is?

My thoughts is she could have food allergies. I knew of a kid like that once and oranges (citrus) was the culprit! It could be something else like gluten. My neighbor girl was not violent but she was antisocial & rude til she was taken off gluten! She did a complete turn around from who she was into a wonderful lovable gal!!

Well, it may be the parent who needs counseling on how to handle those situations. I went and it helped me tremendously.

I was going to suggest the same as others - perhaps it is time for an evaluation. Normally I would say let her grow out of it but she will be starting regular school soon so youā€™ve got to address these issues now. Best of luck to you, itā€™s never easy!!

First she needs to see her pediatrician. They will refer you to the right specialist to take some tests. Rule out anything first.

Then (if everything is ruled out) Iā€™d say communicate with her that violence will not get her what she wants and follow through. Donā€™t give her what she wants when she has a tantrum, provide consequences immediately when she hits/kicks/bites.

It also seems like she may be aggressive due to frustration. What is she trying to gain, if not attention?

Also, corporal punishment will not work, especially with a aggressive child. That will only teach her to be more aggressive.

listen no harm intended but maybe U should of been on that ass with NO SYMPATHY after she turn 1 so it wouldnt get as bad as it is now I have 7kids my youngest is 3 n cause he is his dad first child he sometimes get a little out of control but when I say something to him WITH NO HESITATION HE STOP WHAT HE DOING N DO exactly what I say, getting medication isnā€™t always the best. u just need to b more firm n dont back down n give alittle smack on the ass put her in her room with the door lock til she calm down. she at that age 2 understand

I agree with the person who said ODD oppositional defiance disorder. My son was diagnosed with this at four. They put him on so many drugs and it ruined his childhood :frowning: he was a zombie in school and eventually developed paranoia. When he was a teen I pulled him out of school took him off all medicine and we started medicating with CBD/THC since then he has graduated high school,held down a job for three years and now lives on his own! Next up at 23 we are going to start working on driving. Please donā€™t just let the professionals give him any drugs. Do ur research they had my son on anti psychotics, adhd meds, one time he was on a mental health drug for food disorders they claimed it helped control his outbursts non of those worked. I know many people are anti marijuana but in my case it saved my sons life. In one year medicating with marijuana products he achieved so much and is continuing to do so. So be careful please. Iā€™ve done a lot of research since Iā€™m an early childhood degreed educator so if u ever need to talk or have questions let me know. One thing that did work when he was little was having a safe place in classroom and home to go and calm down. An area in the room with a few of his things and maybe a snack or drink. We also used a 1-5 system so when he was mad and didnā€™t want to talk he could show me what number he was so I knew how much calming we were up against. Iā€™ve got lots of resources so Private message me anytime if u would like to

Iā€™ve been in early childhood for almost five years and Iā€™ve seen something similar, not to this far of an extent but similar. We had a girl at one of our locations who was extremely defiant, hit teachers, threw things basically did whatever she could to be disruptive including hitting and verbally abusing her mom. She too was on the brink of being kick out but my boss decided to try one more thing and move her to a different location and see if other teaching strategies could work. We received the girl and omg she was so different! We still had her throw the occasional fit and get in trouble but it was more on track with things kiddos her age would do and not NEARLY as bad as what she was previously doing. Sometimes, for whatever reason, kids and teachers just dont click. Who knows why, but it might be worth a shot to see if sheā€™s just sending out a cry for help because sheā€™s unhappy with something in her environment.

What are her triggers? Is she expressing frustration about a lack of understanding of not being able to communicate well? Or is it just rage and fury? Figuring that out will help you deal with her heart so she can learn to respond differently, not just behavior modification. A book, Shepherding A Childā€™s Heart by Paul Tripp, can help distinguish the difference and make a long term difference. Ultimately she needs to know her actions are harming others and herself too. At that age their reasoning skills arenā€™t great. As a mother of 8 adult children and 6 grands Iā€™m helping raise, my heart goes out to you. Itā€™s not easy, so breathe, pray and respond well. Donā€™t react in anger for they model that too. And yes, some of those were biters when preschoolers that drew blood and have managed to learn self control and become decent humans. There is hope. Sending hugs.

What? I would never let my child behave like that at home. The parent(s) need to be in control, take charge and lay down some rules. You need to develop the mommaā€™s LOOKšŸ‘ known to stop charging bulls in their tracks. If my kids were acting up and I gave them that LOOK they knew they had to settle down and fast. In case you ask NO they were not abused. They knew there would be consequences

Have you tried punishing the child. Not beating them or nothin but when I was a kid I got shit taken away up to just being a mattress on the floor. Gotta nip that shit in the bud

I do believe she may have an undiagnosed mental issue, this is not normal so get an evaluation soon.

Not to be mean but you have to get control. Call a child behaviorist. They can help you step by step i would think. Good luck.

My grandson had similar issues. Had him evaluated, he is autistic.

For a child to act out most times is due to the child not getting the attention they need at home when growing up. Iā€™m not bashing or being negative but Of experiences Iā€™ve had with my children and other children Iā€™ve watched during after school programs and child cares Iā€™ve worked for, Iā€™ve learned about the childā€™s needs. Itā€™s not asking much but spending 15 mins aside with your child and responding to all and most their questions. Children need to know their being listened to, a sign of needs. Iā€™ve learned that Parallel talking with children as young as 3 years old really helps the children feel secure with their parents. If youā€™re close and open with your children from the time they are able to voice their opinions and their emotions, as a parent we need to be able to respond to them. This builds a secure relationship that allows the children to respond with respect. Parallel talking also helps with taking turns, and kids understanding what a parent needs for them to be respected back. Youā€™d be surprised how smart children are at such a young age. Sitting with your child at a spot they feel is more comfortable and reading a book or simply talking about each otherā€™s day with responding, children feel respected and wanted as to not being heard or wanted. A lot of one on one time and parallel talking is needed for children to grow up understanding that they feel wanted and respected by simply responding to them. It donā€™t take much to give your children time. Some kids go to school and act out because their voices arenā€™t heard or responded to. I donā€™t really agree with medical because I never had the money or time as a single mother to get my children professionally screened. All I know is children need to be heard and given the time at home so they arenā€™t acting out else where to get attention. Also tantrums are completely controllable. Sometimes extra love and time is whatā€™s needed for children to feel their needs are met. Letting your child know how it makes you feel as a parent when they act out, letting your child know that itā€™s not right to act certain ways. Voicing your worries and needs to children as young as 3 years old really helps develop a special bond between you and your child. Let them know whoā€™s in charge but also letting them know their loved and their needs are met but simply responding too oh your child.

Psychology doesnā€™t give me an answer to how to fix it.
I can venture toward a reason as to why they act this way.

Children only have a few built in behaviors. Explore, touch, taste, whereā€™s mom? and so on.
Interactive behaviors with other people are learned from observation.

Thatā€™s not to say theyā€™ve seen people biting each other.
It could be as simple as a sibling or neighbor who visits now and then wo have a relationship in which one person is strongly dominant.
The child picks up the subconscious understanding ā€œdominant is effective.ā€
Then since they have no method of imposing dominance other than violence, they use that.

On the bright side, if theyā€™re not doing it for attention, sharp scolding should work to stop the behavior quickly.
If they persist, the attention they get for the behavior is part of what theyā€™re doing it for.
Child or adult, you donā€™t persist in an action that constantly results in negative outcomes.

Maybe use a punishment that includes isolation so they have no attention at all?

I do suggest you think long and hard before using drugs on them.

For one thing, you canā€™t target a single behavior with drugs, so parts of who that child is, is being washed away with them.
For another, that behavior existed for a reason, and if you arenā€™t finding the cause(s) they will find another means of expression, which could be much much worse.

Bite her back and maybe sheela get the ida what biting really is

Everyone looking at the child! Should start at the parenting :thinking:

Counselling will do nothing this is new term of today,s generation,use the old method to deal with such kids.

Sounds like oppositional defiance disorder.

Try diet first before sending for other sorts tests!
