My 15 month old dd is an absolute delight when around adults. Put her in an environment with other children and she randomly grabs them by the clothing or pulls their hair. I am getting to the stage that I am considering stopping socialising with our friends (the children are all the same age but she is the only one walking).
I have no idea why she does it and 'no' doesn;t work, taling toys away doesn;t work etc etc. I am now just following her around pulling her away from any child just in case and its horrible. I feel as if i'm man-handling my baby girl who i love dearly.
Part of the problem is knowing that the other mums expect me to stop it happening and I just don't know how, other than to stop seeing them. I need to at least be seen to be 'punishing' her and i don;t know what is appropriate at this age or what she can understand. She certainly isn;t affected by them crying or me shouting.
I am 15 weeks pregnant and getting seriously stressed by this. Any suggestions or positive stories would really help. Thankyou xx
