I want outsiders opinions because I know I’m biased. My son is 13 months and has been in part time daycare for 3 months now.

The last 2 weeks, I’ve had to sign behavioral reports because he’s bitten 3 other babies. His teacher also complains he takes toys and pacifiers from others for no reason. I do not condone that behavior. In fact, I dread walking in to pick him up because I’m mortified every time I hear he’s doing this. I have sat with his teachers 1 on 1 to try and figure this out. I don’t have any other babies at home so I’ve never seen this type of behavior from him. When I ask how I can help or what our plan of action should be, the responses are a lot like this..”idk he’s really just mean”. Or “it’s like he spends all day looking for people to hurt.” Or, “he likes the babies that don’t move, it’s like he knows they’re easy victims”.

Don’t get me wrong, I know my son has a lot of energy and was walking by 9 months. I have no doubt the kids he’s biting and taking toys from are the ones sitting on the ground like potatoes who can’t get away...but at the same time...he’s 13 months. He doesn’t have an agenda. He’s not “out to get” anyone. And what am I even supposed to do with that feedback? How can I help my son stop this kind of behavior if all you can tell me is that he’s mean?

He’s there between 4-5 hours a day, and from his reports I can assume he sleeps 1 - 1.5 hours of that time. You’re telling me, as child care “professionals” who are getting PAID to take care of these babies, you can’t keep the shit together for 2 or 3 hours?!?

Idk what to do anymore. I’ve called a meeting with the director. I’m a being unreasonable?
