Terrible Twos Gone Wrong
In the UK a 2 year old has become the youngest person ever to be expelled from the education system!
I briefly heard this on the news and am not sure exactly what he did but he was expelled from his nursery group.
What are your views on this? Have they gone too far by expelling him, or if a child is that bad do they deserve it not matter what their age?
TODDLER BULLIES UPSET CARE CENTRES
Children as young as two are causing problems in early childhood centres with their aggressive and bullying behaviour.

That is a tough issue to have to deal with. If you mandate that children be well-behaved before entering these daycares, then you really alienate those children who do have serious behavioral problems that need professional help. If you ignore the issue, then parents will not take matters into their own hands to discipline their children, which I believe is a major contributor to the problem right now.
This is an interesting topic. My first child to hit two was really not that bad. My second one, he was indeed worse, but more whinny that terrible twos behavior. My daughter though, she is the worst of the three. She can be selfish, and mean to the older boys. She has no problem saying no and running away, or pushing the older boys down to take what they have, or scream at the top of her lungs when she can't get her way. Now, my kids aren't spoiled by any means, but I can't figure out why she is so different. I am fairly strict with my kids, and the others weren't this bad. What did I do different or is it just her personality? Either way, the child in the story isn't really expelled because at that age, its paid daycare, not real education. They commonly get rid of children that are problem children in those environments that are set up for exceptionally bright children.
