4-yr-old and spitting

[shinky]

How do you handle it? She's spitting at people when she's angry. Spitting is a zero-tolerance behavior for me and I'm about to lose it!

Suggestions on how to teach her to deal with/react when angry would also be appreciated.

You can spit in the toliet, trash can, at the ground, but not at people. She can go spit in one of those things when she is mad.

I agree - give her some alternative way to express anger. It sometimes works better to talk more about what they can do than what they can't.
