DH and I are in desparate need of some support with our mostly adorable 2 and 3/4 old daughter who has become the worlds greatest tanty chucker!

She will scream, pinch, punch, slap, bite, kick and spit until she eventually calms herself down and this could be 2 minutes or 2 hours for any or no reason at all.

It has nothing to do with not being able to express herself cause she is a very fluent talker and has a full grasp of language.

We've tried the naughty corner, time out in her room or another room in the house, we try not to use smacking of any sort but will sometimes threaten her with it (but that does nothing you may as well say I'm gonna throw barley sugar at you) - we don't want to be smacking parents cause I wasn't brought up like that so I know it's not necessary. We've put her outside - we've tried to reason with her and we've even tried ignoring the behaviour (that's really really difficult cause we also end up finding we become snitchy with each other as well).

We are beside ourselves - help please...
