How do you handle a kid who is violent in nature? That is scratched and beat you suddenly. Have held her hands and talk to her many x but nothing seems to work

From my personal experience, I know talking may not work when the child is too young to understand. And because the child can't communicate properly, she may react by hitting others. This is what I learn from a childcare centre where my son was bitten many times by another child. I saw from Return of Superman that some parents discipline their children by making them stand in a corner facing a wall. My method might draw criticisms - we ground our child when he's naughty (keep him in his bedroom) until he behaves. It works for us. Finally, I'm sure that parents will disapprove, but spare the rod, spoil the child. I read before from an article that some spanking is necessary, but it must not become abuse. I would think try this ONLY if you have exhausted all means.
