Daughter just had her first day at nursery and it didn’t go well
Just picked up my 3yo from her first day in nursery (3hours a day - UK) and was told she wouldn’t stop sprinting around the room, then when she was redirected she lashed out and kicked over another child’s building blocks.
Then later she kept grabbing a little boy by the neck and shoulders trying to drag him with her, and she did this repeatedly.
I’m completely baffled. She’e never shown any behaviour like this before, and when we did settle sessions at the nursery last week there was absolutely no issues or behavioural issues, so why today?
How am I best handling this? I feel terrible for the other kids and just feel blindsided that this is where we’re at on her literal first day.
ETA: I’ve spoken to her, and at least have some clarification regarding her intention with the little boy. She was trying to tickle his neck. We’re having a chat about being too rough and not touching someone without asking. 🙃 Doesn’t excuse the sprinting/lashing out but some progress at least #relationships source
