I am a care giver for a 3 yr old little girl and her 8 yr old sister for almost 2 yrs. Trouble is 3 yr old is becoming physically aggressive toward me. i.e.. Kicking hitting a out right defiance. I have spoken to parents. They correct her when they pick her up . How much longer should I tolerate this ? I love the children since I have known them since birth.
One thought I have is she knows I cannot correct her except for time outs.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
BTW Older sis says she doesn't act this way at home>

Maybe you should try talking to the parents again and warn them if they don't help you figure something out you will no longer be able to watch her for them. It's best to stop this sort of behavior early on because if nothing is done it can only get worse and she could seriously injure you (no joke, my 6 yr bro tried to throw a kitchen chair)
