toddler hiting herself

Hi,
Im a bit worried about my daugher, she's 4, she's started to hit herself, if she accidently knocks me etc she says sorry then will hit herself. Has anyone heard of this type of thing? Im not sure what to do, I tell her not to do it, and reasure her that its ok she didnt hurt me and so on:\?

  • havent had experience with this so dont really have any good advice but it sounds like she wants to hurt herself for hurting you bless her! a sort of self punishment i suppose. you should just keep reassuring her and letting her no thats its ok and it was an accident etc.
    also if she goes to a nursery or a childminder i would check with them that theres no underlying problem there. best of luck and i hope you get it sorted x
