Hi,
I have 21 month old twins and one of my girls, Taylah is turing into a total terror. She is hitting, kicking, pushing, biting, pinching, hair pulling and throwing everything and not just a few times she is doing it all the time. Mainly she is picking on her sister who is much more placid, but also me & her dad, her nana and other kids at child care. I am not sure what I can do about this. She gets more than her fair share of attention, play time etc. Telling her off hasn't helped, ingoring her doesn't seem to do much either and even the occasional smack hasn't had an impact, it just seems to make it all worse. I am worried that she will really hurt her sister or one of the smaller children at childcare (she bite one yesterday and it was her first day back).
Can anyone help?
Cassie
