Anyone got a toddler who smacks/kicks? How do you deal with it? Do they just grow out of it? I know it's borne out of frustration nine times out of ten with my two and a half year old (mostly when she doesn't want to do something), it all seems to be directed at me and she never hurts other children. She's really strong as well so it bloody hurts! She hates brushing her teeth so it's a definate trigger, I dread mornings and evenings because as soon as she sees the brush come out she's in attack mode. We have to hold her down to do it or it wouldn't get done. Feel like a broken record having the same "We don't smack, it hurts mummy" conversation with her every night. Help!
