I know this is tttcas related but please help. I don't know what to do next. My 3 almost four year old started a new day care about a month ago. Since then he has been on and off been having behavioral issues that he had not previously having. Today he was head butting other children and telling them he was going to slit their throats. Language that I have never heard at home.
Several months back his dad introduced hum to hunting. After that for about a month he kept talking about shooting/killing the dog. I attributed that to his misunderstanding on the concept of hunting. But now I'm not so sure.
His dad and I seperated shortly after his first birthday. We moved about a year ago. He started this day care about a month ago. There have been a lot of changes in his life over the last couple years. I'm not sure we're this aggression is coming from. Or if I should so something more about it. :-S
Re: terrible 3's? I'm at a loss!
Can you talk to your LO's father and find out exactly what he said to him about hunting and cutting necks? I'm assuming it's something your LO heard and is repeating without really understanding what it means. I would talk to him about how it is not appropriate to say that to people.
As for the behavior changes and acting out. Moving is a huge adjustment for them. We just moved to a new state 6 weeks ago, so I completely understand! Just be consistent with discipline and talk to his teachers to make sure you are all on the same page. You could also try behavior charts and rewarding good behavior. Really play up the positive behavior you do see! Best of luck to you and I hope things get back to normal for you soon!
