Today Amanda and Alyssa got into an argument over their Barbies and Amanda reported that Alyssa had hit her twice because she didn't get the Barbie she wanted. I pulled Alyssa aside and said, "Alyssa it is NOT OKAY to hit. If you get angry because you don't get what you want you need to to use your words to tell us what you want. Is there something that you want Alyssa?"
She replied, "Yeah. I want to hit her!"
