Help me in handling my 2.7yrs old daughter aggresive behaviour

Hi,

I am a mother of 2.7 years baby girl. Two months back we have shifted from our homeland to USA. She was always a good child with very nice behaviour but since last one week I am so much upset to see her unbearable behaviour. I am letting her do what ever she wants to but when ever I say No or if she is playing with water when ever I tried to pull her out she starts shouting hitting me and for hours she can hit her self and keeps on screeming. When we take her out at any play area she don't interact with children. I tried ignoring her such behaviour a lot, and tried to calmly handle her tell her what ever she is doing is not could but all my limits have been crossed. Please help me and guid me how to handle her.

I am looking for some toodler school as well thought change of environment will help her. Currently her only activity at home is non stop cartoon network. Or at times she plays with her books and other toys but most of the time it's TV

She has hit the terrible 2's ( they are not called them for nothing!)
They realise they are not an extension of you, they have free will - they want to do their own thing and they are frustrated if they can't manage it or you won't let them. It is an essential part of learning how to deal with their emotions and you can't do it for them. They work through to better ways. They are tantrums. The only thing you can do is make sure she is safe and then ignore. Talk to her calmly once she is over it. Explain that you can't help while she is screaming and kicking. Do not let her have her own way or she leads that having a tantrum is a way of getting what she wants, pay her attention when she is playing nicely. Limit the TV to an hour a day at most- despite the screams.

Hopefully you will get some more replies- there must be more advice out there. I can see why you use the TV when you are so new to a place, but I would try to restrict it. See if it is possible to find some mother and toddler groups or nursery. I know that a friend found it difficult when she went to live in US.

The tantrums will seem worse if you are on your own most if the time with her.

Gosh, I remember it well. The self hitting and screaming I found quite distressing, but it is just the age their at and it does pass. Great advice so far, limiting TV would help u think, and try to get out to a park or somewhere where she can run off lots if energy and get some fresh air. It is had to reason with them at this age so you really have to ignore those episodes and praise them when they are being lovely. Good luck and hope you settle in well, can't be easy in a new environment!
