I have tried to keep things low key today and even though it has been mellow here I have had to put Maeve on two time outs already for hitting. She is defaulting to hitting whomever and whatever is nearest to her when she gets frustrated. She hit Josie twice and poor Liam kitty once. I don't know if time outs work for her but it gives separation between the girls and a few moments for her to regulate herself. Chew tubes don't always work and sometimes she is just too agitated for joint compression or massage of any kind. I encourage swinging at these times as well which seems to calm her down the best. I wish I knew what was going on inside her at these moments!
