I need some advice please Mummas.
My little girl will be 3 in Feb and she's smacking a lot. Mostly me. Occasionally her dad. If she doesn't want to get in her car seat, get dressed etc she will lash out and scratch or smack me.
Her speech and understanding is excellent for her age so I've tried to explain it isn't acceptable behaviour, you've hurt mummy, that isn't nice etc etc but when she loses it, she flips right out.
Is this normal? I know terrible twos is a thing but do other people 2 years olds actually smack? If it's just a phase then that's fine. But I've found myself starting to worry that she might do it to someone at nursery or out and about.
Any advice welcome.
