My granddaughter is 2 years old, recently she went to nursery for 2 hours for about 3 weeks. She was still crying and I had to take her home. Recently, I have noticed her strange behavior. He often cries and beats. Since he doesn't speak yet, I thought he was showing his displeasure so. But she is now as if in her world (sometimes she doesn't react to what you say), throws around toys, doesn't know how to do something for a long time, and I've noticed that she's beating herself in the head. These symptoms keep repeating, so I'm very nervous and don't know how to help her. We are calm, we do not shout at her, we do not beat her, we often use small reprimands to let her stay in our room for a while (about 2-3 minutes). How can I help my granddaughter? Is it a result of going to Nursery?
In my opinion, before you take any steps, you should talk to your granddaughter's tutor about the situation in the group (describe her situation with your granddaughter at home - her behavior). It may be that one of the children is abusive or misbehaving others, and this affects the behavior of your granddaughter. It may also be that the teacher in the nursery is shouting at the children, and this may also have a negative impact on the girl. If this does not help, you will have to intervene with the director of the facility. Evidently your granddaughter cannot cope with negative emotions caused by a stressful situation. In your letter you do not write anything about the child's parents and their family situation - and this also affects the emotional development of the child. The situation you described does not give the whole picture, so I think that before you take any steps as the legal guardian of the girl, you need to carefully look at the granddaughter's parents, and then intervene in the nursery.
