I need reassurance, does your 2 year old feed off others energy

I notice My daughter feeds off of other people’s energy, whether it be adults or kids. She literally imitates everything she see and hears too. So I have decided to not let her watch certain Disney movies where the characters call each other names or act out. It’s made a difference. On another note, I take her to a school program where I attend with her for 2.5 hours 2-3x per week. There is another little girl that always shows up scowling and grumpy in the morning. My daughter will try to engage with her and offer her a toy but if the little girl is angry and my daughter is rejected, my daughter feeds off it and will then want to hit her and it becomes a rough morning!!! I think I just need reassurance that this is normal. I sometimes feel like a bad parent or wonder if I’ve done something wrong. What can I do in these situations. I can see the other mom thinks my daughter is the problem.

Naturally children tend to copy what they see hence the phrase “children see, they do” Secondly acting out when rejected is practically normal, all you have to do is teach her how to manage her emotions. Everything your toddler does is normal for her age, just teach her about emotions and how to react when angry, gradually she will get it and you can let her watch educative videos, alpha blocks, number blocks, color blocks, and miss moni . Miss moni has a YouTube video on emotions
