Biting, pinching, hitting two year old?

If it's only with you & she's not hurting anybody else.. try this.

Completely ignore her! Don't give her any type of reaction. At this age a lot of behavior is learning action & consequence. If she is getting your reaction & getting in trouble every time she acts out: guess what, she's STILL getting your attention (eventhough it's negative attention).

The next time she hits/bites/pinches you, calmly walk away from the situation. Go do something else - AWAY from her (go fold laundry or do dishes, etc). Don't say anything, don't do anything, just COMPLETELY IGNORE her actions. When it happens with your husband tell him to do the same thing.

It may take awhile but it's worked for me on several occations

you dont spank? and you wonder why she is like that? most parents have behavior problems with children who are not spanked because they know there are no repercussions to misbehaving. Shes playing you and she knows it. Im not really a spanker either. once maybe twice a year and thats it. but once you've done it once they remember and you just have to use the threat from that point on mostly. There is nothing wrong with spanking. My custody judge even told me that it is appropriate for a child to recieve 3 spanks on the butt as punishment, but no more. Good luck. I drive a school bus and deal with children who don't recieve the right kind of discipline.

Is she an only child or does she have sibblings?

The reason I ask, is because if she has sibblings this may be her only way to act out her frustrations of maybe being ignored on all the "good stuff".??

I'm sorry I don't think I'd bite her back or hit her. She is in the terrible 2's you know. So you say she's biting you and your husband? Wow, think about ways to consitantly praise her when even more when she does the simpliest thing, so that when she hears a firm NO, she may stop from wanting to hear more good YEAHS ! with smiles and hugs.

It's worth a try. Good luck to you both. and talk to her dr. about it. Remember one thing, the more you and hubby talk about it in front of her makes it even a bigger deal to her, try and keep your conversations about it without little ears around.

Good luck with that then. I spank my kids and they are perfect little minders. Once they have felt a little bit of it they wont do it again. I would never beat my kids, but a little tap tap of a belt never hurt anyone. Have you tried a time out chair. Take a chair and put it in an isolated place and put her in time out for 5 minutes. Don't give in to her. That is a major issue with parents. They give in too much. You can be a loving and caring mother but you can also use discipline.

If you prefer not to spank that's your thing don't let anybody tell you anything different. taking things away seems to be a good idea if your consistent with it. also make Sure you praise them for good behavior sometimes children act out trying to get attention.

at her age she wants your attention no matter what your doing, they will bug ya i sat on floor with my chidren and my grandson, and we learn to roll the ball its time for you to get a time out chair, a min is a long time to this age. i also stuck my son in a bath with toys, never leave her alone. and there is a book by dr dobson called the strong willed child and he has very useful suggestions. i took from the book what i could use. my daughter used to scream at the top of her lungs. omg i can still hear her. ha ha . but i got a squirt bottle and squirted her and after a while she got it.
