Aggressive behaviour

[sharry]

My child on occasion cannot seem to stop herself from smacking/kicking or squeezing me!
She gets told off and put into her room.....sometimes she does it gently others quite hard.

Does yours?

How old is she sharry?

My dd's just started hitting out at me in frustration for the first time. She's nearly 4. I try to grab her hand, say very firmly 'NO', then move away from her. She usually bursts into tears and says 'sorry mum, sorry!' and comes running after me and clinging onto my leg. She's a very remorseful child

She's five in July...she also says I'm sorry mum I wont do it again as I'm taking her upstairs!
But does it again either the same day or next!

I think it's a total reflex, they lash out in temper without even knowing they're going to do it. All you can do is keep enforcing that it's not acceptable and hope one day the penny drops.

I have a 2.2 yr old and we are having a really bad time with smacking, biting, scramming and kicking and nothing is detering her.

Today DD comes home with a note from school to say that she has bit another child, been spoken to by the head, they don't know why she bit and that because of it she has been sat on her own.
HEEEELLLLLLP!
What do I do?

my son is the same, so can sympathise. the teachers think it is because he can get frustrated and the only way he knows to react is to hit out, rather than go and see the teacher or argue his point. at 4 they are still young and still learning social behaviour, some kids are better than others. i don't have any answers just to let you know i can relate!

My mum says the same about dd that it is frustration or possibly attention seeking.

Was just going to start a thread on this when I saw this timely thread. Thank goodness I'm not the only one!
We have had an awful day. I think a lot of it is a cumulation of poor nights due to the heat. But he gets SOOOO angry, often over the littlest thing. Fortunately doesn't hit live objects but pounds the floor and throws stuff.
On way home today he had a huge tantrum, in the middle of shops etc. I just said in a loud voice, "I'm not responding to you until you stop screaming, and I don't care how many people stare at us". I actually felt like leaving him there to get on with it and going home.

Ah well tomorrow is another day.

She seems so sad.....every thing we do to try an make a situation better always turns out worse!
I know exactly what you mean about shopping Posy, i hate it she hates it she behaves badly, i get stressed she starts acting up in the middle of the shop, but we need to eat! Get stared at by lots of other shoppers...eventually by the time we get home she's ready for lots of cuddles, whereas I'm not! If only I could afford a private consultation with Dr Tanya!
Ahh as to another day what joy!
