Talking to the provider, having a conference with the provider and possibly the parent(s) of the other child. A video would be a great idea. Sooner or later that bully will quit once he or she understands that your child will not accept that behavior. It doesn't neccessarily mean that your child has to become the bad guy. There are several way that your child can handle the situation. Use stuffed animals to teach your child positive interactment.

Do you have days when you can stop by and spend some time with your child? If you can, it would be great and also get to know the child that is bothering your own. Include the child that is bothering your own in whatever you two are doing. I would not mention in a negative way or talk about the problem with the child. You will see for yourself of what he does, then gently let him know by saying to him,"lets not push 'Johnny' like that okay"? Why don't we all sit on the floor and play with these blocks, could be another statement made towards the act that 'Tommy' just did to your child. I think that talking about the act just brings out more anger out of a child so i would just keep re-directing him to other activities. If you could also comment about how a nice time you had with him and your child and mention that you will come back again to visit and hope to see him again. Hugs for everyone and leave. I believe a few times of this routine, the child will stop bothering your own child. Too many demands and commands are usually done at day cares....not enough good re-direction to the child... Good luck and have fun visiting.

Children this age are generally not capable of true "bullying" even though their behavior can remind you of it. They are simply exploring their world and are self-centered by nature at this age.
I consider this completely natural. Talk to your daycare provider about the issue and ask how they plan to handle it. What you can look for in their answers are keeping an eye on the two toddlers and having the "bullying" toddler take responsibility for his or her behavior by saying sorry, getting ice if he bit your daughter, or helping clean up knocked over blocks.

I agree - demand the provider do something. Also, go to the very top - whoever is in charge and ask them what is their plan to stop the children from bullying your child. Also - not that I want anyone to get hurt - but ask them what happens if the bullying toddlers hurt someone, what responsiblity will they take?

dont just "talk" to the provider DEMAND that they do something about it
If they arent gonna do something about it then I would definately look for a new provider..or go to the head of this one and complain and complain until something is done ... you pay just like everyone else for your child to have a happy and safe day there while you are at work and if he/she is being bullied they are having neither a happy or safe day right?..your not getting what you pay for

Jeez, does it start that young??? I'd change daycares. If you've spoken to the provider already and nothing has been done, then I guess that's the best thing you could do.

I would talk to the provider if she doesnt do anything about it find someone else or even talk to the parent of the little child

i had the exact problem i tried talking to the parent of the other child but it was like they didnt care. i found out that my daughter wasnt crying or allerting staff in any way of the incident so i told her to scream as loud as she could next time. i reminded her about 3 times and she was only bit one time after that.
