hi i have read above and in a simular situation some what my daughter is five and has delayed delevopement and speech delays also and is quiet behind for a five year old just recently she has begun to smack herself also kicking others and shouting when told no or not to do something and she is really aggressive with it, the school she attends have mentioned it to me and im really concerned i dont know what to do or where she is picking it up from as she dosnt see this at home i asked her teacher if any one at school was acting this way or doing this towards her and i was told no now im concerned they might think its me as they have begun to keep notes of when she is doing it. health professionals that work alongsid my daughter estimated her developemnt age as of a 2 to 3 year old if you could advise or anything please do even stratigies as im always calm and tell its bad to do that and she can harm her self nothing sems to work and even im unsure what she does an doest understand ……

Hi Caryn! That’s the thing, adults might think it’s cute or funny to see a child acting like an “emotional adult.” And when adults laugh at them, kids just want to do it more because at this stage in their lives they need and like the attention. Better to just shower the child with a healthy dose of attention that does not need to be elicited by physically harming himself.

uy, alam mo, in tokyo a lot of kids do that and people think its cute even! i saw my 'niece' doing that and told her firmly that its not nice. they usually do it if they did something wrong and they have to punish themselves. caryns last blog post..birthday list and a contest!

Shouting really doesn’t help. I can still remember the pained look on my baby’s face when I “accidentally” shouted around her. That’s why I always try to speak gently but firmly, no matter how irritated I feel. Calmness really is a virtue.

I am panicky when it comes to EJ and for a reason. Kse he’s a klutz..like me..hehe. But I’ve learned that shouting doesn’t help nor saying NO repeatedly. I am more calm now, I hope…:)
