my daughter hits

My 5 almost 6 year old daughter is hitting other kids. I have noticed at home when dhe is frustrated she will start hitting. and there have been times at home with me when she had hit me out of anger.

Her teacher said that yeasterday she hit and scratched a little girl.... and that she showed almost no remorse. seh stood in time out angry... she said that concerned her.

When i spoke about the incident with my daughter she said she tried to say sorry...( this was later explained to get out of trouble) with out any nudging she began to cry and say how bad she felt for the other girl.  

My daughter witnesses her father attack her day care provider. and the wya that he manages his frustration when he did not get what he wanted was violence.

can you recommend some books or anything???

   Hi Loca,
  Check out this link and look for the post by specialmom.  She has many good ideas and recommends several books that you will find very helpful.  When I read this about two months ago, I bookmarked it because it was such a good answer for helping kids with anger.  Hope this helps.   http://www.medhelp.org/posts/Child-Behavior/Anger--frustration-mangement-for-my-5-year-old/show/1410486

If she has been hit or seen others hit in her family she is copying what she has learned, you say she witnesses her father hitting another person ? this is a pretty good reason she is doing it, are you all living together?
