i have this two year old baby, i don't know if i am really doing a good job. sometimes i don't know what to do when she tantrums. when she gets angry, she needs to throw objects or hurt her playmates, when she don't do any of these, she ends up hurting herself to release her feelings. i really don't know what to do. sometimes i even whip her but it seems it become worst when i do that. she becomes more violent. often times before i talk to her in a nice way when she behaves bad. now i don't know why she turns out to be like that. have you ever experience also your kids acting like that in a public place? what did you do. is it not really devastating in front of many people when you cannot calm your when don't allow them not to do such things. but oh.. i love my baby, she is my angel.

You may want to talk with a child psychologist and perhaps a child developmental worker about these behaviors...it isn't the tantrums so much,every kid has those, but rather the fact you indicate that she resorts to violence against others and herself that gives me pause.
This does not sound like a behavioral issue but rather a potential for chemical imbalance or other conditions, none of which I am qualified to diagnose.
Once again, please bring your child to a professional for her sake and yours.

hi everyone! reading all your concerns were great, i really learn lessons, i am really hard up when the worst situation comes up. i really love my kid and i want her to grow up as a good person she could be. maybe i don't know what really the right thing to do because i never experience taking cared of by my mother. so i don't have anything to base from. well.. my daughter was premature. would you think this has to do something about her behavior. maybe you are right, i should really seek professional advices.

When a child misbehaves they need consequences that are always followed through. You can say (ONE TIME) if you are going to act that way I am going to send you ime out or take a toy away. AND THEN DO IT!! Don't threaten more than once. Give her a consequence and stick with it. When she is good make sure you give her attention and tell her how proud you are of her. Try to ignore the bad behavior as much as you can. If you are out some where and she misbehaves you may have to take her to the car or someplace quiet till she can calm down. It will take a while to get her to understand that you will not tolerate her outbursts but in time she will. Good luck.
