3 year old hits
Seeking advice in regards to my almost-3 year old's aggressive behavior. We recently moved into a new home with my friend and her same-age daughter. There is a language barrier (they have spoken their native language at home up until now) which might be a contributor to my daughter's aggressiveness. They constantly trigger each other when together. My daughter hits, kicks, yells, and cries often when she otherwise gets along with kids her age. I consistently tell her not to hit, that we love our friends and give them hugs instead. She grasps that idea by repeating it to us, but only after the fact, so I feel like there must be more effective guidance I can be giving her. Positive discipline ideas?
