2 year old pulling hair and pushing others?

My daughter turned 2 in July, and hurts her cousins every time we are together! She pulls their hair, pushes them, and slams in to them. She doesn't just pull a little on the hair she gets a hold of it and really won't let go! She is so rough on them! They are 20 months, 4 years, and 8 years old and she will have all 3 of them crying! We usually visit with each other 1-2 times a week.

She does it when they have something she wants or takes something from her or they touch anything that is hers. The 20 month old ALWAYS gets my daughter shoes and wants to wear them, but if my daughter sees her wearing her shoes she will attack her and take the shoes away. Needless to say, i put up everything that belongs to my daughter when my sister's kids get there to prevent one attack! Has anyone else's toddler done this? I have tried time-out and make her apologize. Any other suggestions?

    your cute trying to be a good mom. i think your doing right making her apologize but ofcourse explain also to her that it is bad. and she should hurt others and be not selffish over her things. (though we arent sure if she will understand you) show her that uou're not happy with what's she's doing. Maybe if you're going to be an example it will help alot. She should see that her mom is kind and unselffish and she will also grow like that. Prevention is better than cure.

    i'm sorry you need to pass by using this yet I definitely have a three and a 0.5 3 hundred and sixty 5 days old and he or she does not do any of the flaws you assert. even though it sounds such as you elect a naughty corner we had one whilst emma became into 2 and he or she hasn't long previous back for an prolonged time. a million minute in keeping with 3 hundred and sixty 5 days they have lived so she may well be in there for 3.5 minutes if all else fails placed her in her room on her mattress and enable her cry it out so which you would be able to pass out area and calm down. the place is she choosing up the f be conscious? although if that is from domicile you need to eliviate the priority or although if that is at daycare or anyplace you need to enable them to renowned for confident. you may desire to attempt and keep her occupied by using playing video games along with her ones she would be waiting to love i'm so sorry i could no longer help to any extent further than this yet once you need to you may e mail me in case you basically ought to vent. Is it plausible that she is basically after interest? thats what it would desire to be and peeing and pooing in her pants try to get her some particular undies which she ideas and in the event that they have a barbie on them or something like which you assert to her that she does not choose to wee on the barbie

    Children of this age will not allow anyone to touch or take any of their things and when this happens you daughter lashes out. This is a normal and is a learning process for her and you cannot do anything about it.

    What you need to do about your daughter hitting etc is to take control of her when this happens. She needs someone to help her with her emotions and they only way she knows how to control how she feels is by hitting etc that's were you come in. The best way to deal with this is to distract her. Tell her that she is not to hit anyone, be firm with her, do it every time no matter were you are.She needs you to help her. Dont worry she will eventually learn not to do this.

    Good luck
