Reaching out here, as I am getting quite concerned about DD1. She is nearly 3, very bright, thoughtful and funny child. Recently she has been getting quite hard to manage.
She has had a new baby sister , born late last year so we kinda expected to see a change in her behaviour. She has recently started hitting and biting me 
and having serious meltdowns.
It is really upsetting me to see her like this, I can see she is distressed and time out isn't working.
What else can I try? I try to remain calm and firm with her and try not to shout.
Most of the time she is great, helps me with her little sister etc but she can suddenly lose control. Todays meltdown was because I didn't put the right dvd on for her ( we were avoiding the midday sun). Any advice much appreciated, thank you.
