My kid is a bully.
There, I said it.
Isn't admitting you have a problem the first step in recovery?
Well how do I deal with mydarling devilish 2 1/2 year old who pushes and hits her friends?
Toddlers beating other toddlers just isn't right.
I have a migrane just thinking about it.
I can at least say that my child is assertive and doesn't let others step all over her. But right now that isn't helping.
I am not going to get into the details but let's just say that it involved another little girl, a play structure, a ladder, a good shove and gravel...

My daughter was EXACTLY like that at that age. She once pushed a child off a couch...hit and pushed kids...and used a plastic mixing spoon to boink a kid in the head. I was terrified she would be the death of me...or well..another child. lol. She is still, at 12, assertive and has little trouble standing up for herself...but she is NOT violent AT ALL! I think she went through the hitting phase until about 3 1/2. I don't remember her getting in trouble for hitting at 4..at all. She can be quite physical at times but she is calm and not a problem or a bully in anyway. In fact, she is very independent and wonderful!
I guess you need to embrace it. At least she is a bully, and not a whimp?
Maybe as she gets older she'll see it's not socially acceptable. Nobody likes a bully!
Ok, take a deep breath... This is year #2-they don't really "play" together, they "tolerate" another as long as that person is doing what they want. Don't label her yet... LOL!
Uh oh!
Eventually she will grow out of it though. At least we hope, right? My kids were pretty laid back, but that first child always seems to be the bully of them. Is this your first? Don't worry though b/c eventually they do grow out of it. I hope that helps a little..knowing that they grow out of it. I have no real advice for you now though. Other than trying to teach sharing, which is hard when they are really young.
Hi! Saw you joined my blog, thanks so much! I'm not following you, too :)
And I'm sure you really want unsolicited advice, but if seems like more than just a behavioral issue, perhaps mentioning it to her doc would help. I only say that because I've been all over the emotional board my entire life and while I was never violent, I know it's an indicator of a potential deeper issue.
Hope things get better for ya!
