Discipline -take 2

Okay so my once sweet loving baby Hailey is now entering her terrible two’s a little early. Does this mean it will end early too?!! Tantrums, whining and aggressiveness. While she was in day care the kids would do the typical biting, hitting and hair pulling. They were all of equal size and strength so it didn’t seem to be so bad.

Hailey has now been home with me for the past couple of months. She doesn’t seem to realize battling with other toddlers and her newborn sister are two different things! Poor Abby! I think her jealously is also starting to kick in once she absorbed the fact that her sister was here for good, and that she requires alot of attention from her mom and dad. When i was feeding the baby or bathing her is when Hailey would hit her. I tried time out the first few times only to have her do the same thing a few minutes later. In time out she would imitate me crossing my arms and give me the same stern look. I had to turn my head to laugh, it was funny! Then i tried ignoring her and she would bounce up and down laughing and trying to be cute.

Obviously she wasn’t getting it. So i know i once said on a post Brad did about dicipline, that i didnt agree with spanking. So needless to say i have changed my mind. By the second spank on her bottom she is cured! She has not hit her sister in weeks! She will swing her hand back and then just swoosh the air. So the spank worked. And it turns out Brad was finally right about something!! Love u Babe!
