    Just thought I'd let you know about some advice I've been given and which only this morning seems to have helped with my little boys behaviour. Part of the reason they hit out at us is attention as well as frustration. So what I am doing is immediately saying 'don't hurt mummy' or 'let go please' and then walking away, to another room if possible. Generally my little boy has followed me and then I ask him to show me what he wants or ask if he's hungry, thirsty, tired. Sometimes I can guess the reason so 'help' him to show me. By doing this he isn't getting the attention he is seeking and should eventually realise that being aggressive doesn't get what he wants. I think you can tailor what you say to how much you think your little girl understands, what seems to be important is the walking away and being consistent, every time doing the same thing and all other family members too. As i say, it seems to be working so far with my little boy, even at nap time just now when I have terrible trouble, but it is very early days I know! Anyway, I thought this might help, worth a try anyway. Xx
