A glimpse into what's in store for us...
Reagan hits when she gets mad. Any amount of frustration results in throwing toy or just smacking you (or Boone). We have been really stern with no hitting and only use nice touches. So after she hits we remind her that hitting isn't nice and hurts people and then show a nice touch (which usually involves stroking my hair and Reagan saying "thats nice"). We decided to start putting her to time-out when she hits to keep reiterating that it is not ok. So when she hits, we say "hitting isn't nice, you need to go sit". Then we put her in the corner beside the desk. She sits there very quietly without protest. And usually says sorry when you tell her to get up and come play. Now... when she hits you she immediately says "go sit". Even yesterday, she said "go sit" before she smacked at me! Hmmmm... I think she is going to be a tough nut to crack!
