She was in daycare until the end of last year so, yes she has had plenty of interaction with other kids. She never had any trouble there. She isn't mean at home or with her older brothers and sister. She isn't even mean to the littlest one. She always wants to help him and hold him. It is so frustrating and embarrassing. I don't like to hear 4yo are tough... I thought it was going to get easier now... LOL

The look on her face when she did it is how I know she was doing it in anger or something else like that. I could tell today when she did it when I looked up and saw her walking toward the little girl by the look on her face and thought "oh no... not again". SHe doesn't seem quite old enough to get the question "why did you do that?" She always just gives some bizarre answer that has nothing to do with why she did something.

My kids and I just started last week going to our ward's playgroup activities. I have a 2 month old son and a 4 year old daughter. Both times my daughter has pushed a little kid down on purpose. I don't know why she has gotten to be mean. I don't know what to do or how to change this behavior. Both times i have scolded her and put her in a time out. Any advice?

I had my daughter's pierced when she was 6 months old. I did it because I had so much trouble with them healing when I had mine done when I was around 5 or 6. I wouldn't leave them alone and they became very infected and I had to let them close and have them repierced when I was about 12. I was able to take care of hers and they healed great. She loves them now and has me change them often.
