I need some advice or just a vent

I guess it depends how frequent it is. My boy slaps, hits, punches etc when he is frustrated. He also just runs off in public and in the middle of the road. He choses when he will listen and follow instructions. However, I am not concerned about his behaviour as he can also be kind, gentle and sometimes follows instructions. So I guess only you can make that judgement xx
It could be that your daughter has adhd or odd or something and she struggles extra to regulate her emotions and that's why she is acting up. I am learning LOTS at the moment about parenting because my daughter is suspected of adhd and does all these things you've described. I bought the audible book HOW NOT TO MURDER YOUR ADHD KID and I'm learning lots of practical things from that which is an eye opener.. I also did a few webinar with ALL ABOUT PARENTING and took the plunge and signed up. Plus I listen, practice and implement alot of stuff from parenting coaches on Instagram. It's a work in progress but I'm learning to parent totally differently than I've ever done before and I can see the change. It's slow and frustrating but there's been LOTS of change. It's learning to parent them differently because they think differently to neurotypical children. Good look. Educate yourself in every way you can.
@Ghitta thank you I will look into the resources you said. It's harder for me as my partner doesn't believe in adhd, autism and anything like that so when I even suggest that she possibly could have that it starts a huge row over it. But it's come to a point where I need some help as I really don't know what is happening.
Ah that's not a great situation to be in at all. But whether he believes it or not, at least you can still make a difference to her life through all you learn.
This is a free webinar tomorrow from ALL ABOUT PARENTING that I've signed up for now https://love.parents.app/share/from-overwhelmed-mom-to-empowered-mom-3-simple-steps-to-better-emotional-health/exc

If you need someone to talk to I’m just a message away, we’re going through the exact same thing. We’ve also just had another baby and but her behaviour started before the baby came, she’s the same with hurting us, or high pitched screaming over the top of me if I try to tell her n. She also has a meltdown anytime we try to go anywhere it’s made me a total hermit as I don’t want to leave the house with her because I know a meltdown will come. We’ve started to suspect she may have ADHD with some behaviours she’s displaying x
