My 1 1/2 year old stepson is awful to my 5 year old daughter. Every chance he gets he hits her. I put him in time out and he gets right back up after and hits or scratches her again. It’s literally continuous. He’s not like that to my son or other kids, just her. It’s so nerve racking. Like I don’t want to spend the entire time punishing him, but I can’t let him hit her either.
