My DS2 is 2 and a half and as I am returning back to work in September, so I have started him in nursery 2 mornings a week.
The nursery is a fantastic setting, with 6 acres around it, and very clean/organised, and came highly recommended. However I did notice that it is very full and staff ratios seem a bit low.
Anyway, my DS2 has been going there for 2 months now and every single time they told me he has bitten a little boy.
Clearly this is terrible and I am very upset that he has done this, but I cannot understand WHY he is doing it as he has never done it at home or in any other social setting. He has 2 older siblings very very close in age and a younger one and we always go to playgroups etc but he has never done this or attempted this before.
Apparently he drew blood it was that vicious and totally unprovoked attack?!
Am I unreasonable to think that my son must be incredibly unhappy/unsettled at nursery if this is what he does EVERY TIME when he never does it at home? He is such a placid character and I am sooo baffled by this.
I don't think nursery believed me as they keep asking me whether he is doing it at home and can I please ensure I time him out/explain to him this is not acceptable behaviour - clearly they look exasperated with him. However I am not convinced all is well, AIBU and what would you do?
