  Naughty   Kids that age unless told don't really understand if they are doing something wrong. Maybe he thinks its funny, etc.

  Well, clearly both forms of discipline- distraction and time out aren't working and being in a time out chair half the day is not good for anyone.

  Distraction to me isn't the right approach because it isn't working. I would firmly tell him no- we don't pull hair, it hurts mommy. Does he listen to other nos and what to do and not to do?

  What do they do with timeout- do they explain the behavior and why it isn't appropriate and show him nicer ways to do things- like patting, etc?

  DS is 10 months old and has started biting us.  He say "no-no" and put our finger over his mouth.  It seems to be working.

  your kid doesn't know he is doing something wrong unless you tell him.

  I think he's old enough to know what "no" means and that if you say not to do something, he should know not to do it--or there will be a consequence, such as the time-out chair. Time to enforce it at home like they do at daycare. Since they already have a discipline system in place, it might be best to use it at home to stay consistent. Distraction is for babies, not toddlers, when they don't know any better.

  they tell him. it's part of the time out "process."  

  I told them he's probably doing it for attention and when they go to put him in time out he's getting attention.  at home, if we ignore actions, they stop (not perm. but for that action).  But they can't ignore him hurting another child.

  I don't think you can get by on this one for much longer, though. Being naughty = being punished. Kids need consistency.

  ditto, sounds to me like you're starting to make excuses for not addressing the problem head on at home and blaming the daycare for 'encouraging' the issue by addressing it with consequences.
