Hi Everyone,
I havent posted on here in a while so probably a few posts like this...
I know a lot of you will say its just the terrible twos, its normal etc but the last time i saw this behaviour in a child this age was when my little brother was small and he was diagnosed with ADHD..
My little girl is 2 and a half ... 3 in August, and the past couple of weeks she has been like a different child, today for example i have been hit in the face, kicked, spat at, and screamed at in my face... i dont retaliate to this, i simply just say ok ill speak to you when youve calmed down and then i ignore her while she is being like this - we have never smacked her so i can only assume she is picking this up from nursery? We use the naughty corner which we havent actually had to use for a long time - the incidents that im talking about involving hitting me etc have all happened whilst we have been out of the house...
A couple of factors im thinking this could be is we have recently moved abroad, which i know is a massive change for her and i do give allowances for this but its getting to a point where im dreading being on my own with her now, she makes me so upset - i spent the whole day yesterday crying at her behaviour..
Can anyone tell me if this is normal for a 2 year old to act like this?
Sorry for the rant!!
