I took my youngest of 3 children who just turned 2 yesterday to a preschool playgroup. This group has children ranging in age from newborn to 5. I couldn't help but notice she was way out of control compared to a few other children that are only 2-4m older then her. She would run around the room and could not focus on any activity for more thena minute. She can talk, but wouldn't at the playgroup. How can I help her begin to develope a more relaxed self structure around others?
I expect that she is going to be excited. I don't expect her to act like a grown up. No crude comments please.

This is not a drop off preschool playgroup. Parents stay with their children.

She was probably very excited. Keep doing what you are doing. It is good for her to be around kids her own age. Some children are "hyper". I am NOT saying she is hyperactive. My daughter was the same way. She out grew it by 6.

Has she been around other children much?
Could be that she may just need time to adjust and get the concept that you have to behave a certain way in different enviroments.
I tryed taking my grandaughter to a sunday meetiing a few times. While there are alot of children her age that sits very still for the 21/2 hrs She was not one of them. I started taking her at about 2- well needless to say I stopped because she just was,nt disipline(and by that I don,t mean spanked but rather she had not been taught) and the other children were. I fault myself for not teaching her then . But she is fine now in group settings because as each one arose she was taught. So just give her time and go ahead and teach her
what reguired of her.She,ll eventually get it but not if shes not shown.

give her a few chances at playgroup before figuring out what you need to do. Make sure she's not biting or hitting. You can put her in time-outs, but wait a little bit. If you punish her too soon, she won't want to go to playgroup. She needs to get used to it first.

Your child isn't ready for preschool. SHE IS ONLY TWO!!!!!! If you want to consider something ...consider that fact that she might benefit from a play group or toddler adventure that isn't so structure. Why are you rushing a 2 year old out the door? She needs socialization NOW not preschool!

She's only two. How does she normally behave? If this was her first experience in a group setting with other children she was probably just overwhelmed. I wouldn't worry about it unless she's still doing it after being there several times.

You could try making sure she gets enough exercise, rest, and attention BEFORE going to the playgroup.
If she's well rested, has had an opportunity to get some large motor exercise, and has eaten and gone to the bathroom and still has problems engaging reasonably, then she's just not ready.

Are you a stay at home mom? you need to get your child out more with other kids, socially. I put my daughter in daycare at 2 years of age. It was hard on both of us. But she is more out going and has a wonderful personality.
Socialize your child more often.

Give her some time. She'll get into it. It's a new environment for her and after she gets used to it she'll get into the activities and want to do what all the other children are doing.
