For mine, it seemed like the more that they could communicate with words the less that they hit, or dare I say it, bite.

That said, it’s the 2′s and the 3′s that are the brunt of it – I have sat down my older girls (with them) and basically held them hostage for 2 or 3 minutes and told them, while I looked them straight in the face with a not nice voice to STOP.

I’ll also admit though that once when my now 10 year old bit me so hard she made blood ooze out that I popped her fanny.

Believe it or not – that stopped it.

I wish I knew the answers. Jamison often hits me and/or the husband or himself when he's angry and nothing seems to help. We're still doing the time out thing hoping it will work at some point and we have a couple of times spanked when he's thrown a matchbox car at our heads after being told no repeatedly. I'm just as frustrated. Here's hoping the terrible twos pass quickly. .-= Kristen´s last blog ..I am fat =-.

Luckily with out first, Time Out worked! I’m scared now because everyone says the 2nd baby is complete opposite.

Put her in time out and tell her “you are in time out for hitting” ( I know brilliant right?). I can’t promise she won’t serve you another headbutt, however, just stick with it. If she gets up say “you are in time out” (see less words, I know I”m genious). But basically the third time and forward you should say nothing, just keep her in time out.

Hold her there if you need too, kids should get a minute for each year old they are.

Keep rewarding good behavior with praise. You know in a high super excited obnoxious voice…..good girl!!, yes!!! , mama’s girl!!!, awesome, yay and so on)

Put a blank white piece of paper on the fridge and every time she’s good, give her a sticker to put on the paper. My kid loved this.

Follow-up late night with copious amounts of alcohol.

((hugs))) hope it works

Wish I had answers for you and I wish your readers had answers for me. I have spanked, I have “not” spanked, I have done time outs, I have put her in her room and I have nothing! I think it makes her more mad when I don’t react. Some day it will be better, right?
Sorry I am of no help, but do know you are not alone.

Ha yeah! As for spanking, we just won't. So just looking him in the eye and telling him what he did wrong and then taking something away or putting him in his room with the gate up, is helping some. Yay for toddler frustrations! .-= Lu ~ @masmom´s last blog ..Party like it’s 1999? No thanks. =-.

I hate to say it, but it’s always nice to hear we’re not the only ones dealing with this. It makes me understand why parents resort to spanking sometimes. Perhaps we could stick your Muhammad Ali and my WWE Diva in the ring and let them fight it out for the belt? lol.

Um, I am sorry I don’t have a lot of advice…I am in a similar situation and I just wanted to let you know that I have just started drinking more. That is all. Please pass on any good advice you get. Mason acts the same way and I recently posted about it too. I don’t know what happens but all of the sudden he is sweet for a few days. It comes in cycles lately. I dunno. Hugs to you guys though, I know it’s really frustrating.
