Teacher just told me my son has been bullying

If you are looking for strategies, I'd recommend a PEP class on managing preschool behavior. It can stem from lack of language, or inconsistent messaging, or sensory issues, or just needing to learn appropriate ways to express himself. You also mentioned his poor sleep. Improving his sleep is an important first step to managing behavior - an over-tired child is more easily frustrated & more prone to hitting.

I agree. I give a serious side-eye to any teacher who would call a two year old a bully.

I taught first grade for years--including bullies. I don't think I ever told a parent that her child was a bully. I cannot imagine the teacher of a two year old doing that. I think we are kind of "bullied" up to our ears these days.

PP, you will be amazed at the crap some of these preschool teachers tell the parents. I was getting daily phone calls from a "very qualified teacher" at one of the expensive preschools within minutes of dropping of my kid. MINUTES! When she called me one time to chew me out for "your son is taking away other kids' toys", I yelled at her to get her fat ass (and she was very very overweight, at least 250 lbs) back to school to learn how to work with little children. I am not sorry for calling fat and unprofessional, she really got on my nerves. I then got my kid out of that craphole and threatened to sue them if my security deposit wasn't returned. As far as I know that fat cow is still there.

Aren't you a charmer? It's pretty easy to see where your kid learned to be a bully.

Yes, I'm sure the school was delighted to see them go.
