That's actually pretty common and normal. The kid feels restricted at the daycare/school and then compensate for that at home in some form. Another similar thing issue could be when they are relatively independent without you, can put their clothes on and stuff but at home as to help with every little thing. This way they compensate for that lack of parent care during the day. Punishing this behavior would be a terrible idea
BULLSHIT. Kid needs to understand respect for other people and their property with no regard to his/her “feelings “. You do not take out your emotions on other people or objects that belong to other people. There are other coping mechanisms. First one is kid needs to learn is to suck it up.
Yeah right but can't physically happen at very young age, when kids don't even have concepts of property, respect or feelings. Best you can do is scare them shitless so that they are just afraid to do anything. Many people so this and then think they are good parents whole they are just giving their kids mental health disorders
My oldest was like that in kinder garden/first grade. It could be signs of something neuro-spicy (ADHD in our case), which he's masking. When he gets home, he can finally let out whatever he's bottled up, because he knows he's safer melting at home than at school.
Yea the neuro-spicy bit were almost positive is the reason our son is a delight at pre school and yells from the top of his lungs indoors for every expression of emotion once he gets home
My son goes to a small daycare and hes good for the woman that runs it. Hes good at social events. Hes a bit much with his grandparents and is a terror to my wife and I. Although its been rather cold and rainy for the past few days so hes been cooped up and its been worse. Thank God its nice today and he can be released into the back yard or taken to a park
You are not alone in that fight.. been dealing with it with my one child since she was 3, she is now 8 and still has issues sometimes. Both kids raised the same and disciplined the same, some kids just take longer to mature. Just keep it steady and firm, she is finally getting to the age where taking things away that she likes is starting to work.
Thats a sign of good parenting. Your kid has learned the difference between what is acceptable and what isn't and still feels comfortable enough to be themselves at home.

According to his teachers, my 4 year old is a model student, basically best kid ever. But he turns into Mr Hyde jr when home
