When I get onto my 23 month old daughter she get really mad.?


When she gets into trouble she gets really mad and startes to either bit herself, pull her own hair, pinch herself for hit herself. What should I do about this.

Answers:
she is probably expressing her frustration with the situation. at almost 2 she is probably not talking a whole lot, which results in communication frustrations.

if she does something and you "get onto" her about it, she may want to explain herself, just not know how to....then, b/c she is frustrated she pulls at her hair or bites. often, kids will bite or hit their parents, but your daughter is doing it to herself.

what i recommend, try calmly communicating with her and trying to see things from her viewpoint a little bit more. even though, her point of view may not be right, it may make sense to a 2 year old. then, instead of "getting onto" her about it, just explain what she should have done.
if you stay calm, then hopefully, she will learn to stay calm. if you try to see her side then it will help in communicating together.

also, discuss this at your next pediatrician visit. if you don't have one coming up, then make an appointment. there could be other factors at work too, like an anger disorder. i doubt it, but i don't know you or your child, so you can never rule anything out!

take care.
Talk with her doctor
