advice on child acting out
A friend asked if I could give her any idea of anything that might be helpful. Her 2 year old daughter who they adopted as an infant is mostly a total sweetie. But every once in a while she totally loses it. Shrieking, crying trying to hit her parents or anyone else she gets close enough to. They have been to more doctors…
