4 yr old meaness

post #1 of 2
Thread Starter 
Lately DD has been hitting me and then running away... a lot. She come up to me like she wants to cuddle and then kicks/hits/pinches me and runs away. She even does it to her little brother. Sometimes when I am holding him on my hip she will come up behind us and bite him on the leg or foot.

DD is feed and watered and gets one on one mommy time. I don't know what her deal is.

I am angery and at a loss at what to do in the moment. I don't want to put her in time out if I can do something better. I want to deal with the behavior but she usually just laughs and runs away I don't want to ignore it or teach her that that is how she gets my attention.

GD was easy enough when she was under 4 now it's a whole new ball game and I don't have a clue anymore. Advice very much appreciated!!!!

Have you asked her what she's angry about, or if she just wants attention?
