Take a stab at the diagnosis of this child at my daycare center. I'm stumped.

[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 421056, member: 3419"] Is this a daycare for Special Education kids? Why can't you sit her down and say "NO!" and then redirect her? I met a kid in my daughter's daycare once who was a bit like that. He hit and bit all the babies, especially the 6-mo-olds who could sit up but not yet walk. (Easy targets.) Instead of grabbing his hand and yelling NO! I took his hand and said, "Do you want to touch the baby?" He nodded and said "Yes." So I smoothed out his fingers to show him a flat hand (rather than a fist) and held his wrist tightly and stroked the baby's cheek and said, "Nice, soft baby. Good boy." I did it over and over. A little while later, he went at it again with-the fist and when I shot across the room to nab him, he immediately changed his hand to a flat hand and stroked the baby. He definitely knew the difference. I have no idea where that comes from but can see in his case how to change it. If that would work for this girl, I would highly recommend it. Redirect, and physically play with her. If she wants to kick, take off her shoes, sit across from her and play footsies, Know what I mean?? I have no idea what is wrong with-her but clearly, that language came from home, not day care. [/QUOTE]
