HELP!!

My daughter’s behaviour is getting out of control. I don’t even feel like I’m being dramatic here. I’m at a loss of what to do. She doesn’t respect anything I say. She’ll laugh in my face if she’s told off. She’s resulted to hitting/smacking me now if she gets told off. For example, she’ll take her little sister’s toys and throw them because according to her, her sister is not allowed to have any toys? When asked why she will not answer the question. Always goes on about something completely unrelated or screams in my face. I’m running out of ideas. She’s nice as pie to everyone else. Extremely polite but for some reason when it comes to me she’s anything but which is really hard. If anyone has any advice please let me know 🤞🏻 xx

Im assuming your daughter is almost 3 because you’ve posted in this group. My little girl’s behaviour is very challenging atm also. Could it be a cry for attention? I know I’m struggling to give her one on one time as I also have a baby, and she acts up. I’m currently reading „Discipline without damage” and it seems the answer is more attention and connection to you. I’ve just watched old videos and photos of us last night and it made me cry how much her life has changed since I’ve had another baby. Me and my husband decided to give her more attention and more one on one time and see if that helps. Not saying that’s the case for you too but just an idea.

No advice to give but I’ve literally just come on this app now to see if others are experiencing the same and your comment was at the top! My LB is reallllly pushing boundaries now, will scratch me or grab at my clothes, screaming and kicking if he doesn’t get his own way. He’s an only child and has literally all my attention. It’s so difficult isn’t it! Sorry I can’t help but just know you’re not alone!! Xx

@Briony ❤️❤️❤️, it literally is so hard 😢 she’s always involved in everything and usually 95% of things is what she’s asked to do 😂 I keep telling myself it’s not forever but it’s so hard isn’t it. Every day feels like FOREVER. I’ve tried the coming back to it later on and trying to understand why she’s doing it and she’s not interested in the slightest. She walks off or ignores if she can’t leave the room. I have to just stop going on about it because it ends up winding me that I’m getting nowhere and she doesn’t care. She’s recently started throwing things at me such as clips/bobbles etc whilst I’m driving during one of her meltdowns because she’s all of a sudden remembered something she’s left at home and we are nowhere near to go back🙃 if anything clicks with him to help you please let me know 😂 I feel like I’ve exhausted everything 😂😂😂😂 xx

Yep we are at the throwing and hitting stage, today she kicked me for the first time because I wouldn’t let her have a kinder egg for breakfast. My issue is my partner lets her do whatever she wants so he can just sit on his phone. So many things she would never ask for before she now thinks in the norm as he lets her get away with it, she will me angry at me and tell me to go away, that she doesn’t like me/wants daddy etc. My boy was an angel and I’ve never experienced anything like this before:
