How to deal with a violent 2 year old?

First I would like to thank everyone for their advice. Secondly I should not have said I spank, as people have different interpratations of the word. I will slap her hand when she scratches at my face, but to me a hits a hit. I would never harm ether of my children, and I am not angry with her for her actions, I just want to help my odviously frustrated child. But I would also like to rephrase my question. I’m horrified she will hurt herself durring one of her fits. She throughs herself around, as well as bangs her head repeatedly. I should also add, she interacts well and is starting to say some words, but she also does not talk much (about 3 words). I dont believe she is autistic but thats the only thing I cant think of to cause this behaviour. I also dont need a 3 year old on drugs!

You need to take her to the dr and talk to him. He will know who to refer her to. Those are not normal actions. I worked at a daycare for 2 years (and still occasionally help out there, about to go full time again) but I never saw anything like that and I saw a lot of interesting things. Please go see a dr for her safety. If there is something wrong with her they will be able to tell you.

I would bring her to a physist I had a 3 year old daughter and she was the same way so I brought her to a physist and it worked. you and your family are in my prayers… also instead of getting mad t her the best thing to do is leave her alone unless she’s hurting someone but if she wont liste the best thing to do is just let her hve what she wants

You really need to get her evaluated by a professional… although she’s in her ‘’Terrible Twos’’, I think it would be best to take her. :)
