in behaviour/development there is a thread about a 2 year old boy who is hitting his mother. Someone actually suggests putting him in a cold shower each time he does that. That seems madness to me. He doesnt understand what he is doing and that is a form of abuse surely! If someone did that to my DS it would traumatise him so deeply. I just cant understand how you could do that to a 2 year old.
I have a rule now on MN not to get involved - I name changed I have been posting here for over 3 years and got sick of the fighting as I am pretty sensitive and couldnt detach well enough from it. So I dont post unless its either friendly or relevant to me. But I posted saying it was abuse. It just made me feel so sick I couldnt believe my peers were talking about it. Am I totally alone here???? Is this a normal way to deal with a two year old who hits?? They all hit at one point or another dont they?
