I don't know if I can survive. My 2 year is a MONSTER, no a DEVIL.!!! She takes pleasure in pulling other kids hair and hitting them, and once said action is done and I scold her and pick her up and put her in time out, she smiles really, really big, like she just got what she wanted. I am fit to be tied. Choice corner, time out, putting her in a dark room with the door shut, putting her in her crib they all get the same reaction. What am I suppose to do?! I can't have a child that runs around bulling everyone around her. Only time outs don't work. She sits there patiently for the time out to be done and then goes and gives the child a big "I'm sorry" hug, and then 5 min later she's at it again. I've even tried leaving her there for like 5 min, in the hopes that the longer she stays in the time out, then it might sink in, but NO! IT'S NOT WORKING!!!!! And the fits she throws, oh my gosh! Screams bloody murder if she doesn't get her way, and runs the other way. I thought I had my hands full when Madisen was this age, but let me tell you, I had no idea what a problem child was. Madisen was a angle compared to Tatum. I could reason with Madisen, and she didn't throw fits. And to top it all off the little thing has been on a napping strike this whole week. I am loosing my mind, literally! HELP ME!!! does anyone have any advice?
Yes, she looks cute and innocent, but I am here to tell she is NOT!

this may be qliche, but maybe she wants more attention. she seems to like the negative attention. maybe when she is doing the wrong things take her out of the situation and spend some alone time with her, like read a book? this is a tough one, let me know what happens.
Maybe it's the ears? Maybe everything will get better when they are fixed? I agree with what you are doing. With CC, when I put her on time out I try to act really scary and make sure I am rough as I plop her down on the chair. I think it's good if they are a little bit scared of you.
Can she get out of her crib? I know "they" say not to use bed as a punishment but I would definitely put her in there over and over again until she decided to stop the bad behavior... she is old enough to understand if you tell her. Even if you have to plop her in there 25 times a day. And make sure you react the very second it happens. Just grab her and stick her there immediately.
With all of the disciplining, make sure you add lots of positive attention and one on one time. Keep being consistent and eventually it will work! Some kids are just more strong willed and it takes longer. I'm sorry though-- she sounds like a tough one!
I am worried that this next one is going to be my nightmare bc Sawyer is so easy...Its like you can't get all good ones.
