[quote=Anonymous]My 2 yo tends to be a bit handsy and aggressive and we are trying to figure out the best way to combat some of these behaviors since they often hurt others physically. For example, she runs to say hello she will often head buttwhoever she is saying hi to, and sometimes she plays a bit too rough which starts in good fun but often leads to hurting someone or toys breaking.

She has recently started hitting and seems to think it’s funny (she doesn’t do it when angry per se), especially when she hits her older sister. We try telling her hitting isn’t nice and to use gentle hands but it seems to have no impact. We model nice hands as well.

She also loves to throw things when she is excited or frustrated which is also becoming an issue. Today she threw a heavy wood toy which hit her sister (accidentally). We tell her if she throws things she loses the toy/object but she doesn’t seem to care.

123 Magic worked really well with my older one, but this is a little different since I don’t think it makes sense to start counting once she has already hit someone of thrown something.

Can anyone share some tips for how best to handle this type of behavior?[/quote]
