In desperate need of advise. My son started nursery in September and everything has been fine until the passed 3 weeks. He has begun lashing out at other children, hitting and poking them a lot. Nursery think he is struggling to communicate with the other children as they're a bit older than he is. It's now becoming a regular chat everytime I pick him up about his unkind hands towards others. I've tried talking to him/ naughty step at home. I really don't know what else to do he is behind on his speech and doesn't understand when I try explaining things to him.

Are they telling you because they think you need to take action? Or are they telling you so that you know? That might sound like a tricky question but I work in a nursery.
We sometime tell parents “we’ve had to remind them about kind hands today, they’ve been .........” we tell parents this so they realise that words have been had and that these things are happening.
Or are they telling you because they feel further support is needed?
You need to ask this question. Ask what you can do about it? Do they feel it’s more than just a phase? (A lot of children go through this). Sharing is new, interacting with other children is new. It’s all new and sometimes they play up.
Do they think he needs referring to speech and language?
Ask to have a chat with his key worker and clear these things up

@kshelley awww Goodluck you'll be fine definitely keep me updated on what they suggest to do, Aww that must break your heart I'm sure he does play with them an you just log in at the wrong time hopefully, I personally think it's due to the lack of communication and with his been with older children it's better for him to follow them it will help him more than we both think.
