And our problem right now is that he just does NOT listen and/or does the complete OPPOSITE of what I tell him to do. <br /><br />I'll pray too. It's hard Momma. I hope the phase passes SOON!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01044279582701415786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6407401078587932678.post-62847969575153973892011-04-06T15:42:50.775-04:002011-04-06T15:42:50.775-04:00darling vanesster, (don't ask),

I know I don't, but...it's good to hear others say it too. :)<br />Mel...you're making it VERY difficult to not hop on a plane RIGHT now and hang out with you guys!!!Vhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01875834913316556128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6407401078587932678.post-65979511522980006502011-04-05T22:32:00.106-04:002011-04-05T22:32:00.106-04:00Vanessa, you are not alone! Henrik is a hitter. W...Vanessa, you are not alone! Henrik is a hitter. We too are struggling how to deal with this. If you have success in curbing this behaviour, please send your wisdom our way! So far time outs, ignoring the behaviour, persistently saying "we don't hit", and crying to elicit a "sorry" and a forgiving hug have not led to less hitting. It's definitely a frustration thing for Henrik as well, and just like Jude, he has trouble looking me in the eye when I speak to him about it. Ahhh.. the joys of toddlerhood! :)cassandranoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6407401078587932678.post-2802012446440285132011-04-05T22:16:19.943-04:002011-04-05T22:16:19.943-04:00ugh. i hear you! you are describing my Eli when he...ugh. i hear you! you are describing my Eli when he gets frustrated - it's the EXACT same behavior! i also have noticed the same lack of willingness to look in my eyes. he also has added a manipulative element to his anger/defiance/disobedience - upon me telling him not to do something/touch something/hit someone, etc, he'll immediately say, "hold you?" or "hug?" and reach out to grab me for comfort. it is VERY frustrating!!! we are not giving in to that, but at the same time, i have no idea how to express the seriousness of the situation - i suppose he will just get it as he grows, but man, i hear you on this post!manizorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16909026027631510202noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6407401078587932678.post-6044414147285937522011-04-05T22:07:29.556-04:002011-04-05T22:07:29.556-04:00when i first introduced eye contact to C, it worke...when i first introduced eye contact to C, it worked WONDERS. now it has become a secondary battle to whatever primary battle i was trying to work through/avoid.<br /><br />but i don't want to give up, because when i DO get his eyes on mine, the whole interaction shifts.<br /><br />sigh.Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15562541192366796187noreply@blogger.com
