Director's Description to School's Approach to Discipline
Most tussles at this age (2 or thereabouts) are over toys. I use humor and a cheery manner to defuse the situation, encouraging the rival claimant to use her words and ask for a turn after the other child has finished. I then give the original claimant 2 more minutes to enjoy the toy and then announce it is now the other child's turn. This works in almost all cases. Occasionally there is a child who has more shoving and hitting problems, and this sometimes requires that I shadow them for a period of time in order to intercept any potential negative behaviors before they happen. I then praise them for not hitting, and try and set up a new pattern of behavior. I do not use time-outs at this age, and of course never any physical punishments or 'bad boy/girl' language..
