My daughter is 3 this year. when she is good she is the most beautiful child in the world, but this is not very often. I do not take my daughter out as past experiences have proven to be difficult and embarrasing. My daughter regularly hits out and me and has often bust my lips and broken the skin when biting me. She also attacks her older brother and has once scalded him. i dont know where to turn. ↓

Perhaps you should take her to see the doctor. She may need a psychological assessment and he will be able to refer her. ↑

My daughter Sophie was like that when she was 3 too (now shes 7) and I was too embarrased to do anything about it and my mother kept telling me over and over that it was just normal child agression and eventually it got to the point where she was becoming violent against other kids at pre-school and I finally gave in and took her to a child psychologist and I found out that their was nothing wrong with her she just was quick tempered and the doctor told me ways to help prevent that and I found it runs in the family! but I think it's a good idea to have her just checked out ...maybe it's nothing or maybe something just a good idea maybe you will learn some tips lol like me! ↑

alison,i have the same problem,my child is 11 and im scared its to late for him.please get her help because the older she gets the worst.she may be acting out something personal in her life,this may be her way of expressing her feelings in a way you dont understand. keep god in her life and show her soooo much love. i know she is young,but hold her,let her know even though she is young you will always be there for her. ↑

Hi, your child has the power in your home....someone hand it over to her and didn't even realize it(so young..so much power). I would take her first to be seen by a doctor, you have to be sure she is not ill, its hard to tell by just the way she acting out...doctor first...therapy if you are very upset at her at times...........................Then you go back into your home........and it will be hard(very)...........start taking back the power...I'm the parent and you're the child....take it back(discipline/rewards).......just do it all with love!...........You gotta take your family out to eat sometimes/enjoy it!(children love going out to events)and she will understand that you would love to have her come along with the rest of the family too...Family time together!.....but!...well!.......tell her!..........always with love! ↑
