Abusive toddler 😢😂

This sounds so so difficult. When she hits say no in a calm voice and put her on the floor. When she throws a tantrum stay close but don’t engage. Once she’s stopped screaming say come on let’s play together. When she has something and throws it say no, pick it up and put it in view but out of reach, you need to show her that you’re the leader and she will start to follow you soon enough. Whatever form of discipline you choose you have to stay strong and consistent you can’t ever give in to the tantrum. Don’t let her hit you more than once, or if you see her going to do it step in immediately. That’s how I got my 15 month old to stop hitting, she rarely does it now.
@Kelly thank you so much. I’ll try it. I love her death but man… she hurts 😂 and it’s getting out of hand lately.
Yeah they’re so strong it’s ridiculous and it really hurts your feelings!! Just stay super consistent and don’t let that tantrum phase you one bit x
One piece of advice I’ve heard which I’ve found true is for babies/toddlers is all attention is good attention and they don’t differentiate between praise and telling off. So when you say ‘No’ loudly for example, they’re getting your attention so they repeat. The advice is to still say eg. ‘no, do not hit mummy’ but in a monotone voice so they still get used to the phrase, and then demonstrate with action to move them away and don’t engage in the ‘game’ they have. Just repeating what I’ve heard and what I’m trying. I also know from experience that the more they love and trust you, the more you get the good and the bad, so they show you the most emotion! Xxxxx
Also… she wakes me up every morning by finding my phone or some other hard object and hitting me as hard as she can in my EYE. It hurts so bad. Some days I think she popped by eye or something from the pain. And I tell her “no” with a straight face. I’m not really sure what to do more than that at this age… has anyone else dealt with this?
