So, I think I'm slowly converting over to gentle discipline. I'm not sure if I'm 100% on board because there are sometimes that I just have to absolutely tell my daughter "no" (like when she tries to play with the litter box in the bathroom... there is seriously no other safe place to put it in our apartment! 
). But beyond that it's worked well so far. For instance, we started doing EC due to how much DD was throwing a fit during diaper changes (especially poopy ones) and now she never poops in her diaper anymore! 
So I'd love to hear some ideas for what we're dealing with now:
1. Changing clothes. DD SCREAMS when we have to change her clothes. No matter what we do she is upset. I know what the problem is, she wants to do it herself, but I don't know how to fix it because she's still not proficient at it. She can put her shirt over her head and take it off and she tries to put her arms in but is not there yet and she'll scream when I do it for her. The same goes for pants. She's also been working on pulling down her diaper but can only do it when it's on her legs, not her butt. So any thoughts on how to make clothes changes easier??
2. The other issue has to do with aggression. We really, really, really try and make our house a calm house. We don't yell, scream, etc. But DD will hit, grab, push, etc. all the time. I get it's probably age related (she's 10 months) but I'm scared when she's around her age mates because she's quite a bit bigger and stronger than other kids her age. I never leave her alone with them but still sometimes she'll pull hair, push, etc. I get so scared that she's going to really hurt one of them!!! We've been working on teacher her "gentle" and will show her how to stroke our hair (instead of grab it) or pet our cat. She's definitely starting to get the concept and will start with stroking our hair (for example) but then, sure enough, a few seconds later she uses our hair to stand up with and is trying to pull it out. She's really social and LOVES other kids but I'm just so worried that she'll hurt them...
