My 5 year old daughter soon to be a 6 year old in a month does not respect anyone, young or old, she hits anyone including her little sister. This started from birth and now lil sis is 3 years old. But at first only toward her little sister, so I would always be careful not to leave them alone, that kind of stop. Then she started throwing stuff and breaking things, so anything I thought she could throw I would move away, that kind of stop. She then started throwing her food so I would feed her then that kind of stop and now she hits any one that come near her even strangers, always right in the face. And now the problem has escalated she’s been in kindergarten for about a week now and has been hitting a little boy in class. The teacher move her away from the boy, but in the cafeteria she hit a teacher that was asking her her name and she just hit the teacher in the face. When we go out I have to rest my hand on hers so she won’t hit me, if we are at a restaurant I have to sit next to her put my hands on hers and plus feed her or else, like she has done in the past, hit me or the nearest person and throws the food. If you see her she looks like the calmest child ever and sweet and polite, you just cannot get too close to her. I see her trying to be good at times, like she tries to stay away from people. When she’s playing with other kids she plays for a while then moves away, if you are talking to her she tries not to be too close to you. I love her so much but I feel most of her anger is towards me ever since I bought her little sister home am trying to balance both of them. I tried everything under the sun to get her to stop hitting, time outs, taking away privileges, spanking; I even tried spending time just with her alone. Go shopping, going to the nail saloon, going to the library together, cooking she would be fine for a while , but lil sis comes back in the picture and we are right back where we started or even worse than we were before. Now I have a social worker comes (she hit him), I don’t know what else to do am going out of my mine because I still have to take care of my three year old and her behavior is the opposite it’s like night and day. Now she doesn’t hit lil sis as much anymore because she starting to defend herself, so big sister thinks twice before hitting her… I need help I don’t want lil sis to think its ok to hit too or mimic big sis behavior I can see if ignore lil sis will be doing the same thing.
