Читать книгу Raising Babies: Should under 3s go to nursery? - Steve Biddulph, Steve Biddulph - Страница 12

Childhood is an aggressive time – even at home, little children often resort to hitting, pulling, shouting, as they lack the skills to sort out conflict in better ways. But in a large group setting it gets worse. Groups of bigger boys, or meaner girls who physically or emotionally dominate things, can be a problem if your child is quieter or less assertive. Alternatively your child may become one of the dominators or bullies, as another way of dealing with the stressful environment. Under-twos are too young to nurture or befriend each other for more than a few seconds, or even play together co-operatively. Problems soon arise. A carer will usually intervene to protect the weaker children, but not always in time. It is only bumps and biffs and unkind words – they won’t end up in hospital – but it is emotionally unsettling and scary to quite a few children. And there is no escaping it. Your child will be confined with the other children all together, all day long.
