Question

How do i get my 2 year old daughter to stop hitting and biting and screaming ?

Answer 1

Time outs, or get a child gate and put it in her bedroom doorway, when she has a "meltdown" put her in her room behind the gate and WALK AWAY.  Of course keep an eye on her from time to time to make sure she is okay.  Ignore the tantrums and give her praise and lots of attention when she behaves positively.

Answer 2

Call the Dog Whisperer. err.. I mean the Toddler Whisperer! It's normal for kids to bite, buy them a biting toy they can sink their gums or teeth into.

Answer 3

Pop that leg every once in a while.  Your daughter feels NO CONSEQUENCE for her actions...thus, she feels it's okay to do it.

Answer 4

The terrible twos are never fun, but why not give her a taste of her own medicine?

When she hits you, give her a tiny hit back just enough so she can feel it, when she bites you, bite her back, and when she screams copy her.. then get down to her level and say "how do you like it??" I can guarantee she wont like getting spanked, bit, or copied. She will get cranky, and stop doing it.

It is either that, or you could do the whole time out 8 times a day. Toddlers get time outs for everything, what makes you think shes gonna know what shes in time out for this time? Shes only two.. biting, hitting and screaming is what she does so odds are shes gonna get right back out of time out and do it again, but if she knows everytime she bites you, screams or hits you, shes gonna feel it then it is more of a likely chance she'll stop more so then just sitting in a chair for 2 minutes.

Answer 5

she's 2

thats why they call it the "terrible 2's"

Answer 6

You can stop her by

1.) Waring her to stop after 3 warings

put her on time out "Naughty Chair" for

2 minutes and every time she bits put her

on timeout.

She will eventualy learn =]

Answer 7

I have never had a problem with my now 3 yr old son biting me but but my wife and daughter have been bit. I think she responded by telling him  no at first and when that did not work she would pop him on the leg. That cured him of it.

The hitting I dont put up with and will pop him back on his leg. He stopped hitting after about the 3rd time when instead of popping him on his leg with my hand I used a belt.

To deal with tanturms I take my son into his room and close the door. I periodically (say 3-5 mins) go into his room sit down in a chair and try talking to him. Most times I have to do this a minimum of 2 times before he calms down.

Now my wife she will just ignore him and  either turn up the TV or Radio (if shes in the car and he starts screaming because he wants his way). I cant ignore him so I put him in his room.

Now i simply need to figure out how to stop him from the screaming when he doesnt get his way.

Answer 8

time out is a good solution, it will teach her to stay calm.

Answer 9

Try putting her in time out, and dont let her get up until she quits screaming, then let her know why she was in time out....UGH, my son is going through terrible twos, I hate it, he's doing the exact same thing, good luck!
