bAhAmAmA0250 answered Saturday June 5 2004, 1:51 pm: Tell her to stop. Dont yet extremely to loud that you scare her all the way just enough to get the point across. Nobody should be able to hit your friend. Time outs are good. Put her in her room. You need to put a stop to this before it gets even more uncontrolable. The younger you are and learn the better! *trix* [ bAhAmAmA0250's advice column | Ask bAhAmAmA0250 A Question ]
askstella answered Tuesday May 4 2004, 8:08 pm: I've never been an advocate of sparing the rod and spoiling the child but it sounds like you need to get a handle on this situation before she gets any older. When she's acting out that way, first try talking to her (letting her know that her behavior is not exceptable), second; give her a time out for what she's done (letting her know that the next step you take will be to give her a spanking) and if all else fails, live up to your word (a little sting to her behind won't kill her). They say people without children are always trying to tell others how to raise their children. This isn't the case this time. I've raised two sons (grown now)that weren't always angels. There's nothing wrong with a little constructive fear in parenting. That's why God made us bigger . . . . :o) [ askstella's advice column | Ask askstella A Question ]

You have to put a stop to this right now . Your child is young so you need to do this now DO YOU HEAR ME . NOW ! [ Courtney's advice column | Ask Courtney A Question ]
Winona1992 answered Sunday April 11 2004, 7:44 pm: Maybe she needs to be more disiplined. When she does something wrong, you can be The Reinforcer! You can yell, and there is nothing wrong with time outs and the ocasional spanking. Make her apologise to your friend, and if she gets a temper, you can give her a time out!

evilgogeta answered Wednesday April 7 2004, 3:11 am: Talk to her about it. Tell her that hitting people is wrong. If she's really got as bad a temper as you say it might be an idea to get her anger management classes (3 years old might be a bit young for this though).

PepeLePew answered Wednesday April 7 2004, 12:38 am: Why did she do it? Listen to her sid eof the story -- talk to her. Be patient with her even if she gets insane at some point. [ PepeLePew's advice column | Ask PepeLePew A Question ]
Chickie answered Tuesday April 6 2004, 8:04 pm: Dear daughter,
I think that you should sit her down and talk to her.Explain to her that she is getting older and if she does not listen to you than she will get into deep trouble. [ Chickie's advice column | Ask Chickie A Question ]
Lizzy answered Tuesday April 6 2004, 6:08 pm: Well three year olds don't really have friends to pick this sort of thing up from, so maybe you should try raising her a little bit more gently. Just try to understand why she hits and slaps your friends

MFS answered Tuesday April 6 2004, 4:01 pm: Well... was the face slap in a tantrum? Or was it during play?
If during a tantrum, hey, it happens. Can't really do anything about it while a small child is having a tantrum...
As far as hitting goes, you need to make her understand that hitting other people is not acceptable. The "time out" concept will only work if it immediately follows the hitting, and she is pretty much restrained by you, typically with you calmly explaining that such behaviour is "bad" and that hitting people is not nice, etc.
Thankfully, most little kids don't stay is a hitting phase for very long. My youngest just went through one a while back (though he still tries to beat up on his big brother). [ MFS's advice column | Ask MFS A Question ]
jbdreamer answered Tuesday April 6 2004, 3:22 pm: Consistancy will help her learn the difference between right and wrong. Next time she gets upset, let her know that it upsets you, tell her no, and sit her down by herself for 5 min. If she gets upset again, do it again. I am not saying that you do, but don't spank her or anything, if she is slapping you don't want to let her think that hitting is accaptable when mad.
