I have a 15-month old daughter who has been hitting and pushing in daycare. This has been such a disappointing experience for us. When I go into the daycare in the afternoon to pick her up, I fear the daily report I'm going to receive. She is such a little angel to be acting out at daycare with the other children. It has been brought to mine and my husband's attention twice that she pushed a child down in front of the parent and one of the children were new to the daycare(first day). Of course, as any parent would be the mother was upset and did not feel good about leaving her child in a new daycare where she is being pushed the moment she walk in the door.
We constantly express to our daughter that hitting is not nice and she will get in trouble. She will smile and play with us as if it is a game. Her curiosity level is very high and everything catches her attention. Her words are not clear but she is very expressive.
We are first time parents and fear not being good parents to our daughter. How do we discipline her after she get home from daycare when the incident happened hours before? We don't want to ignore this situation but we feel she doesn't remember why she is being disciplined when she get home, therefore, it becomes a game to her.
Any suggestions:
Also, I have to add that she rough play with daddy and I'm wondering if maybe this would cause some of the hitting and pushing although her dad doesn't allow any hitting during rough play.
