I’m at my wits’ end with my DD, who is 4. She has been hitting, scratching and biting DS who is now 7 for the last 2 years. I’ve tried and tried to stop it (time out, big attention to DS, shouting, taking toys away, reward charts etc, obviously not at the same time) but she just keeps lashing out. She’s bright, articulate and can be very caring, they play together well and enjoy each other’s company, but if she’s annoyed she hits. She doesn’t do it to anyone else, and her nursery teacher was astonished to hear she does it, and that she has big screaming fits about being asked to put on a coat or whatever trivial reason she’s decided to take issue with. DS never retaliates, and she’s never been smacked etc. I hate it and it’s ruining our family life. What next?

To expect a 4 yr old to stop hitting her sibling?
