[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How's her language? For us the issue around that age was that her speech was a bit slow in coming and so she bit because she couldn't say "no" when a kid took something from her. It passed once she could talk more.

For the center, I'm not sure. Do daycares really kick kids out for biting at that age? Ours never seemed like that was likely (ours was on both ends of biting incidents). Biting isn't acceptable, but it's pretty common and expected. For ours, I know the stress of changing daycares would not have helped the biting.[/quote]

Actually her language is quite good. I think she is still learning (as are all 2yos) to express emotions accurately, but she certainly knows how to say no and will sometimes gesture away from me and say "no, Mama. Bye bye." when she doesn't want me in her space. I wish it was as straightforward as "this is how she's communicating for lack of verbal skills" but her vocab is huge.

I honestly can't tell how likely it is they will kick kids out or if it's just a CYA part of their handbook.[/quote]
