Izzy has started hitting or stomping feet when she doesn't get her own way - it would almost be comical if we didn't want her to turn into a bratski.

Anyway, if we don't give her something she wants ( like today I was eating pizza shapes and there was no way she was having one) or if she wants the remote etc.... she will make a funny noise and then bring her hand down like she is going to hit something or someone and sometimes she does hit us. She did it a few times at mothers group the other day for no real reasone but luckily didn't connect with a kids head or something.

We tell her "no, that isn't for Izzy" etc and distract her by taking her away and usually it works, but sometimes we g[et the stomping feet too with a sit down and cry tanty....

I have just ordered Pinky's book, Toddler Tactics but wondering if there is anything else we can do... I know some girls at MG hit gently on the hand already but we don't think that will teach her anything except to keep hitting. I've also tried sternly saying NO, but all it does it seem to frustrate her more and she keeps hitting.

Help please from a worried mummy.....
