4 year old gets mad and hits/talks back?
She has speech impairment and had PDD to note.
Any advice?
When she does this we say you do not hit, that is not nice. Then place her in time out.

Spankings. Plain and simple. Time out does not work. Don't caudle your child. I would make the time outs longer and take things from her. Favorite toys, tv time or whatever. She has to be stopped NOW. What is going to happen when she goes to school? No teacher or other kid's parent is going to put up with her!
i thank u should wip her *** everytime she ask bad
Hit her back. While I'm not one to advocate corporal punishment, this would be an exception, if for no other reason, it will teach her the effect hitting has on others. Once she stops this habit, then don't use hitting again for any other reason.At that age "don't hit" "don't do this" don't do that" has little effect on any child. It needs to shown by example. Also, as they get older, it is important to emphesize as unacceptable actions are being committed, to do it back or simply ask, "How would you like this being done to you?" There is NOTHING like being given a taste of your own medicine to get someone else's attention in many cases.
put him in his room, put up a baby gate to repreasent the punishment of little freedom (that is, of course, after they get a pop on the leg or some sort of reaction to them hitting you) worked for my bro when he was a child, and worked for my cousins. She's going through a phase. She wants 2 c just how much leverage she has on u & her daddy. Don't back down. give her a time out every time she acts out. She will c she can't win and eventually back down.
With my 3 kids, they only tried to hit me one time. I took their hand and smacked it and looked them right in the eye and said "you do NOT hit" It feels a little weird to spank when the issue was hitting, but it gets the point across that the child is not in charge.
My mother taught me that it is the offending part that should be punished - if she says something disrespectful or inappropriate, you should pop her mouth. Believe me, you won't have to do it very often, and they will learn that being rude and disrespectful is not going to fly. Be consistent!!
(and time-outs do not work)
My daughter used to hit and throw fits, I cured her one day very quickly. I flicked her across the brigde of the nose once and not very hard, she stopped looked at me and I asked her if she liked being hit. She nodded no and I told her then don't hit other people. I didn't dwell on it and after the incident we continued to play, and I never metioned it again. Since that day she has never hit anybody else, she is 12 now and a good kid. I'm not sure if it helped or not, I just wanted to show her that it didn't feel good to hit.
