Lately, I have been talking to all of the moms I know. I have had a great need for some words of wisdom. Lilly is full blown entering into the Terrible Twos. Although Lilly is a loving, giving child who constantly shows affection, she has recently developed another form of showing emotion physically. The main problem is that when she gets upset she acts out in rage and hits. Rene, me, poor Mona. The other day she ran up and hit a stranger at Subway. So the question is not whether this has to to stop, but rather, what do we do to get it to stop.
HELP!
While I realize that we live in a society where spanking is looked down upon, I also can't live with having my child hit every time she doesn't get her way. There is a part of me that figures that it is no one's business and I should feel comfortable spanking in public if that is what will work to correct the negative behavior of my child. One thing I do know is that we have to nip this behavior in the bud right way.
So what's a parent to do???????
We also went down to San Diego to visit the Kelleys and meet Brandon, their new baby. Lilly was aware of him but didn't really pay much attention to him. She was, instead, caught up in some preterrible-twos behavior.
He is so tiny. It is hard to remember Lilly being that small.
Then she got nuts on some ribs.
