Like all toddlers, DD has moments when she's obviously a bit trying. How do I get across to her that she is doing something wrong?
Example: When she thumps the dog (who is incredibly good natured luckily), I move her away, tell her "No hitting" and distract her with something else. It then becomes a game, with her squealing in glee each time I tell her no and move her away. This applies to nearly anything- pushing the washing machine buttons, emptying cupboards or throwing food on the floor are other examples.
I know all of this is bog standard toddler behaviour, but will she "get it" at some point soon, or am I wasting my breath at the moment and need to wait till she's a bit older? And am I even approaching this the right way?!
