Behaviour

Hi My daughter went through this stage and it does get easier i promise. All I can suggest is to ignore her . Easy said than done I know . But walk away when she does it and when she calms down .. tell her this is not the way you treat me and your sister or anyone else . Does she go to nursery? Maybe speak to them and see if she does this there. Also have you tried speaking with your doctor about this ?

@Ayshea 🧕 i spoke to her nursery a few times and she's an angel at nursery, no hurting, no snatching and is so well behaved! I will give my GP a go thank you :) x

I am going through this currently with my little one constantly having meltdowns. She’s not biting or hitting or anything but maybe you could just take her into another room or calm environment away from everyone else and practice breathing exercises. Words of reassurance. If that doesn’t help after a while then maybe you could take her to see someone professionally and ask them on their opinion. Because if she is autistic then it will be more difficult for her. My sister is autistic and her behaviour can change drastically, I would say that after my mum finally got her diagnosis and was able to research more into ways to help her, it got somewhat easier. There will always be challenges because they are kids as well, I think at this age it’s a lot harder too because she doesn’t have the same understanding. You’re not doing anything wrong, I think every child tests their parents at whatever age in life. I would just persist in what you are doing, firmly say no to things as well

You can even still explain why something is wrong even if she doesn’t fully understand it yet. After a while they tend to pick up on what they are doing that they shouldn’t be I.e biting really hurts others. Taking her somewhere else and calming down can help them regulate their feelings. Try to be patient and although it is difficult being persistent is the best thing you can do
