Hey y’all. I posted in here last week about the girl I babysit being destructive and physical with my daughter. The parents told me to yell at her when she does that and the feedback I got was to not yell. I told the parents we should try the non yelling approach and they were on the same page. Since then, nothing has changed. She is pulling my daughter to the ground by her clothes, pulling her limbs and now biting her. She just pulled her by the arm and bit her hand. I brought her into time out without yelling, and sat with her, explaining that she can not hit and she can not bite. within 20 seconds of getting out of time out, she went right over and smacked my daughter in the face. She’s hitting her brother, she’s hitting me. So...now what?!

Get some structure. You need a schedule, a routine, some consistency. Time out needs to be for hitting and biting. Every. Single. Time. It’ll get frustrating. It’ll get tiring. It’ll teach her. But a routine and predictability will help. It you guys eat breakfast, do a craft, build blocks, go outside, lunch, nap, etc.
we do have a routine. every single day we follow it
@jtaylorg, have you tried looking at a trigger. What causes the behavior, rather than just the behavior itself. Is it transitions, it’s it before meals, is it before nap, is it loud when she act out, over stimulation?
Lord bless you. I don’t know how you’re dealing with that. I could not deal with anyone mistreating my babies. I know she’s just a child as well, but something is definitely going on to be the reason behind her acting out that badly. I would no longer be able to watch her.
How much exercise is she getting? When my son isn't getting enough running/playing time in he gets like this and it's so frustrating.
we play all day long. she’s never sitting down doing nothing. doesn’t watch tv or play on a tablet or anything. we go outside every day
What do you guys do every day? Do you have structured activities? Maybe she just needs an outlet.
yes. we play all day long and it’s always changing. playing with blocks, going outside, playing with the water table. she’s definitely not bored
Science!
My friend posted this on facebook last night and said her kids were asleep within minutes. It's a song that scientists created to help people fall asleep. I was skeptical but I thought what the hay, I'll try it out. I didn't bank on Dh falling asleep, but both him and lo were asleep by minute 2. And lo slept six straight hours. ?

My husband and I aren’t exactly strangers when it comes to relationship challenges 💞. We have been together for 14 years and married for eight, so we’ve definitely gone through some growing pains as we navigated a long-distance relationship in college and our first year living together as a married 👫 couple.
But nothing has challenged our relationship quite like our first year as 👪 parents .
Before you have your first child, you have these grand ideas of what it will be like. There’s more slee...
Dad's FB Video!!
Did anyone see that video a dad posted on his daughters FB page? He saw a post she made where she bashed her parents and cursed them, called them lazy and told them they should pay her for stuff she did around the house... So he called her out on it and put the video on her page!! Sorry if I missed a post already about this already, but I just saw the video and IT WAS AWESOME!!! Hahahhaa!
Not yelling is going to get you no where. You need to put some base in your voice and show her who has the authority. A little “time out” isn’t going to do a damn thing for you. As of right now she is aware that you are a pushover and the only consequence you have shown her can be compared to no consequence at all.
