| I am new here and glad to join all of you on this board. I have been running a daycare in my home for the past 2 1/2 yrs. My daughter who is now 3 1/2yrs has grown with the children in my daycare, they are all around the same age. I must add that my daughter has some developmental delays, mainly with her speech. All was fine with her and the other children until about a month ago when I noticed two of the other kids always sticking together and picking on my daughter. They won't let her join in their play(they tell her to go away), steal toys from her, laugh at her and tease her sometimes. I am a licensed educator and know how to deal with situations like this. I don't over protect her but correct the kids when they do this by telling them that at daycare everyone is friends and that we must be nice with eachother, that teasing and making one another cry is not a nice way to play. I've started to even read books to them about how to be nice to each other/bullying. I also try to encourage group play as much as possible. But this is breaking my heart to see her upset or cry when this happens, this is still my child. Would anyone have any other tips or ideas that could help me deal with this? I would greatly appreciate it.
