amberlie, I'm late to this, and stereotypes and all; but my son was MUCH more violent than DD. He hit, bit, kicked, the whole 9 yards. My daughter is much more gentle, and while she does hit, she is softer and more likely to stop without screaming.

redandblue based on my limited experience, the frequency and intensity are pretty high. But that's based on my personal experience with only 2 other toddlers on a regular basis - E of course & my best friend's 3yo. I told her about the frequency/nature of his hitting. He was absolutely fine otherwise.. he cried for about 5 mins when she left and then started playing, stopping to hit someone every few minutes. He knows a few words - no and bubble - and also some signs, but not much language overall. The more excited he was, the more he would hit. When he was upset, he just sat on the floor and cried. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk That's so hard. Excitement really increases Isaacs impulses. I remember once I went to pick him up from daycare, he was probably 18-24 months old. But probably closer to 18'months. He saw me, walked up to the nearest kid and hit them. Most of the time now, he rubs himself. Which is ok except he rubs the inside of his groin and I worry he'll get teased

Well, hello there gorgeous ladies! Last week B was sick and I was basically running on nothing plus feeling like the shittiest Mama in the world because he was so whiny and restless that I ended up yelling a lot. Last week up and even through today has kind of been a blur. My big project at work just got hella stressful and I've been not feeling well for a few days myself. So if you need me, I'll be here on autopilot.

Hi Ladies...I'm going to jump back in if that's okay. I went off the grid (mostly) for awhile. My dad is now in acute rehab. It isn't going awesome, but he is stable. Thanks for your kind thoughts. We got away and went on vacation last week. We had scheduled the time off a few months ago but didn't plan a trip until the very last minute until we knew my dad would probably be okay. It was good to get away and clear my head for a bit. I was not in a good place before leaving. I *hope* to be here more and I will try to get caught up. I spend all day at work and then visit the hospital in the evenings before coming home to continue working...so my time is a bit limited.

shellyr, I'm so glad you were able to take a vacation! I hope it was restful for you. I've been thinking of you and your dad. Glad to hear he is stable. We all know how busy you are - pop in and say hi when you can but don't stress over catching up!

AFM, I've mostly been LT'ing these days (we renamed this, yes? But I can't remember what it's called now), but our big event is tomorrow and then I have about 20 people I'm in charge of travel plans for on Friday, so I may actually become a real person again this weekend. And then go back to normal-busy instead of I-can't-handle-this busy.
Oh, and I'm going to tell my boss that I'm pregnant next week when he's back in town. I'm having a really tough time hiding my belly so will be glad when that's out and I can wear non-tent like clothes again.

I missed your poof mrspiatt. Hope all is ok! I felt awful for posting it. I'm okay- my family is okay, but H and I struggling with some news we found out today. I'll probably repost tomorrow once I process it a bit more and can be a little more discrete with my wording. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

amberlie,when i started it with N i would fully explain (when N hits; mommy hurts. Thats not ok.) i have always done a modified 123 magic. It says you are supposed to give the 3 strikes without emotion within a 30 minute period. With n i dont say strikes because that is totally meaninless. But i do give him three chances to stop before a consequence. The consequence in the book is to take them sternly by the arm and walk them to a time out place, i have never done that, but usually give on the fly consequence that is explain at the onset. i hope that makes sense, dh is being an attention whoring beast ATM

amberlie w hits and pushes a bit. I usually remove him from the situation and use the wording RunsforWineandCarbs gave to me "I will not allow you to hit, we use nice hands" repeated. And then I also make him apologize and explain to him that no one wants to hang out with a kid who's mean and hits. He does it mostly when he wants to play with something on his own and I have to remind him to share.
