My daughter had been doing well about hitting for a long time but it started back up over a week ago. I am so over it. I've kept my cool but let me tell you, right now I just feel like I'm going to throw up I'm so discouraged.
She has been throwing things at me, hitting and kicking me with things, even her body parts (hands/elbows/head/knees/feet). She doesn't care who is around. We were supposed to go to a birthday party this afternoon. She said something and I asked her what she said because I didn't hear her and then she rushed her face up by mine with a mean look (this has been happening a lot even without hitting) and then hit my while holding a tiny toy - because the toy was tiny, she had a fist around it to hold it so she got me pretty good on my cheek. Not enough to bruise, I don't think, but it sure hurts.
I stayed calm and then in a couple of minutes sat down to ask her why she did it. She said I made her angry. I asked her what I did to make her angry. She took a skirt and hit me with that.
Of course, I look at her with as little emotion as possible and tell her hitting is not acceptable and she is not to do it. Like that works, right??
I went out of the room to call my husband who is at work and when I came back, she was asleep on the couch, all dressed to go to the party.
Ok, so what to do. She will be heartbroken if she misses it. We had already had the talk about if she feels funny or whatever to tell me right away and I would take her out. We could leave whenever we needed to.
On the other hand, she has been so up and down today and seems to have little, if no, control. I dread taking her outside the house.
I dread what she will be like if we don't go.
So, what to do? What would you guys do? What have you done about the hitting?
I'm going to swallow a bit of Pepto and a motrin. LOL
