I am horrified. I am either raising a normal 2-year-old, a bully, or the next Laila Ali. Faith has hit other kids at preschool this week. I'm really not sure what to do.
You want a knuckle sandwich?
Last week, Faith was really upset about having to eat dinner (instead of watching Elmo on Sesame Street.) As Jason tried to calmly explain that, while it was okay to be upset, she had to eat her dinner, Faith clocked him one. Her eyes narrowed (okay, he was telling her it was okay to be upset,) she drew her little left hand back, and did one heck of a jab. My former boxing coach would have been proud. I'm upset that Faith has decided to use this new skill on other kids; although her teachers say Faith never looks upset while she is doing it. Her attacks are unprovoked. She just goes up to some unsuspecting soul and decks them. While her teacher assures me that all 2-year-olds go through a "hitting stage", and Faith might be having trouble adjusting to Meghan, I am not reassured at all.
Any ideas?

Oh no! Hopefully it's just a very, very brief phase? Yes?!
Lorissa would be proud, in a shameful kind of way!
Karen....if Faith ever sees this blog, she will resent you for life.
"Anonymous"- take a Midol and come back when you feel better. Love ya!
Would it help to know that when I was her age I was kicked out of six daycares in one week for fighting and biting? She'll grow out of it :)
