Aggression and hitting out

[alexandra_c]

Afternoon girls,

I am having some problems with my DS Cyrus (2 1/2). He is like a jekyle and hyde child at the moment. Most of the time he is a little angel, however when misbehaving he is a monster.

Sometimes you can get round him, but occassionally he has taken to lashing out and hitting me. Its a struggle for me to keep calm sometimes: I usually just hold his hands and say 'Dont hit Mummy' or 'you are hurting me' or smething like that - then exclude him for a couple of minutes - its not so bad if we are at home as I can put him in the hallway and he knows he has done somthing wrong, but its so embarrassing when we are out.

Has anyone else had a problem like this and can offer any advice ?

Thanks Alexandra x
