Awww Bec you haven't done a bad job and I'm yet to see a perfect kid.

My son used to be the one that made me leave places becasue of his behaviour. Actually with Joel not alot's changed. LOL. There were times that I felt I couldn't even be bothered in taking him out because I knew he'd play up. Then I fiugred if I didn't just go I'd never leave the place and that he had to learn how to behave in public. It happened eventually. But Joel is a different child altogether to Eliza.

I am also agreeing that the biting might have something to do with daycare. Only in the fact that in daycare she has to be able to stand up for herself, she needs to be assertive or she get's left behind. Tehya is a very assertive little girl and I am dreading how this will change when she starts daycare next year. In Tehya's case she has to be assertive to get what she wants from Noah. Noah has to do it with the big boys, although he is more of a sooky la la to get his way.

Assertive is a great way to be, as our girls get older, I think just learning to deal with it as toddlers is that hardest part. I think trying to teach or explain to them that biting, hitting or pushing isn't the way to get what they want is the first battle. Tehya doesn't bite, she likes to pull Noah's hair. I think they do what get's a reaction. Bites work fantastic for that, they bloody hurt.

Try to see Eliza for all the sweet and good things she does. As hard as it can be try to ignore her bad behaviour and reward the good things she does. Now I don't mean turn a blind eye to the biting and pushing, of course that still needs dealing with but when she is being a good girl praise her for it.

She is such a pretty and cute little girl, looks like butter wouldn't melt in her mouth hey

And your right, kids hat can talk can be very over rated. I don't how many times I tell them to stop talking for a while for some peace
