My daughter is 2 years and 6 months old. She is very independent at her age like she can make her bed, put back her toys and her things to its own place. She always offers a help when I am doing something. She said sorry when she made mistakes and she knows when she is beibg bad. She understand when I said no but oftentimes she keep repeating the things I dont want her to do like she go out without telling me and I keep calling her and she dont answer so I talked to her and said dont do ut again she said yes and sorry. Then the next day she will do it again . What make it even worst she will sometimes just act very aggresively with other kids especially on her cousin who lives with us like she kick her sometimes pull her hair and spank her. I dont know why she is very violent. She said sorry after but will do it again next time. Is kids on terrible two's really like this active and hyper?.

How about the atmosphere in the house. Is there anything that causes her to behave like this?

@hlfbldmom She may be resenting her cousin for some reason. May be with some patience and closely watching them you may be able to find out what exactly is driving your little girl to this behaviour. . You need a little bit of patience.

@allknowing Yeah, I am watching them closely lately and what I've noticed is that she hates it when her cousin dont listen to her or if she do things that she dont like sometimes she just dont want her cousin on her sight. But when her cousin is jot around she keeps on asking where and when we go out she makes sure she buy something for her cousin..

I dont think there is any in the house. She is okay with the other kids, just with her cousin and I dont know why..

She is not a kind of kid who easily get bored but she wanted to do things beyond her age. She dont like playing toddler toys and games. Its somethings that worries me sometimes.

@hlfbldmom When our daughter was small we did not confine her to acting a certain age. She turned out to be creative and loving and kind. A good person. We did our best to help her explore, whatever age she happened to be.

@sallypup I let her too I dont stop her from anything except if it is dangerous for her. Maybe I am worrying too much since I am a first time mom and a single mom. Thank you for sharing...

Your girl is so good and sweet.
How old is her cousin?
Firstly, I'd think about the environment, as children always like to learn from others. Did she see anyone do that before?
I personally do not like violence at all, but sometimes it seems like it just comes quite naturally for kids, especially young kids. They may not mean to hurt others, perhaps they just want to do something they want to do or don't like something others are doing, but they are still too young to express it in words, so here come their hands or legs.
When the children are at this young age, I'd hold their hand and show them how to use hand to pat on others gently, and tell them this is what we should do with our hands - love others or do things.
Perhaps you can give your daughter do something on her own, so they don't play near to each other. Children at this age may not play well together yet. How about let them play with nature together? Do they play along well? I have noticed my children and other children, when they play with nature things (such as water, sand, flour, etc or in the park), they do not fight, as there are plenty of things to play together with.
My children are very active all the time, so I guess it's quite normal for some children.

My daughter play well with any other kids without hitting or kicking them she just walked out if they had a fight but with this cousin of her I dont know why. There are some few moments that they play well together most of the time not. Even outside or in the playground she treat her the same. Although I can see she loves her cousin she often keep foods for her cousin when her cousin is at school or bring something when we go out. If I give them separate toys to play she still wanted her cousin to play with her and then after a few minutes here comes the fight.
