Does anyone else's 21 month old hit them?

EDIT: I had several really kind and helpful comments and appreciate the empathy, guidance and sense of normality. I'll be sure to refer back when needed... such as 15 minutes ago... lol... yikes... anyway, I appreciate you all. Thank you so much! 💓


I understand big emotions for little people... I have training working in public education with neurodivergent kids.

I may be taking this personally due to the emotional and physical hurt, especially as it's geared specifically towards me but, anyone else get pinched, kicked, hit etc etc by their kiddo for absolutely ANY reason, inconvenience etc whether they've caused it or have literally NOTHING to do with it?

I absolutely adore my daughter. She's highly intelligent, empathetic and truly amazing but, it's shocking how much she beats on me. I suffer with several chronic pain conditions and these physical attacks are causing distress and injury.

I try to redirect, reprimand with kindness etc but, I'm at a loss. 😞

Advice or even solidarity and shared experience would be great.

Thanks everyone and happy Saturday 💗🙏
