Yeah jemima is doing the whole hitting thing too. We r giving warnings and then sending her to the bathroom for time out. She only stays in there for about 30 seconds to and she has to say sorry on her way out or she stays in but we always get down to her level to ask for the sorry and then she gets a hug and kiss and told we love her. It seems to be reducing the amount of hitting and kicking we are coping. Not fun for any of us tho
