Looking for a baby girl name that’s one or two syllables. Can’t end in -er. Would prefer not to end in -ey. Names I like:
Margot (will people mispronounce and say mar-got when reading?)
Collins
Pheobe
Lucy
Louise
I like Evey nickname (pronounced ev-ee not eve-ee)… but I don’t like any of the full forms of that name - Evelyn, Genevieve, everleigh
Hi! I’m having major trouble with my 19 month old hitting other kids. Whenever we go to any class, library, playground, etc he just walks up and randomly hits other kids…. Like out of control and unprovoked. We’ve always gone to classes and he was always so good until last month. For a month I’ve been trying, “I won’t let you hit. I’m moving you over here to keep everyone safe” . Of course trying to block hands before it happens but at this point I basically have to hover over him the whole time and even then he gets some swings in. When I remove him, he often would try to make a beeline for the same child he just hit to hit again. It’s not gotten any better. I’m feeling pretty defeated because I’m not seeing other kids behave this way. He is very smart and verbally advanced for his age, like has hundreds of words and already using 2-3 together at a time. He used to always try to smile and wave at other kids but now he’s just hitting and often saying no when they approach him. Originally the hitting started over wanting a toy someone else had or other kids trying to take his toys, but now it’s progressed to completely unprovoked hitting all the time.
Any advice for what method works to stop hitting? For those who are on the other side, how long did it take to stop? When I remove him, should I just hold him away for a minute (he’s not hitting me or screaming, but as soon as he is released he often makes a beeline for the unoffending friend who he just hit to hit them again)? Do I move him away and release him and keep bringing him back until he stops moving towards that child (not letting him make contact again)? Do we just leave? That would put us leaving everything we go to immediately and idk that would give us the opportunity to learn. HELP.

Basically wondering if others have gone through this, any advice for what worked for getting the behavior to stop? How long did it take? When I “remove him,” am I supposed to just hold him in place for a while or just move him away and keep moving him when he heads back for the child? Do we just leave? That would put us leaving every activity we go to immediately. HELP
Does anybody with inside knowledge know more about the exposure links between those with confirmed hantavirus cases on the cruise ship? Supposedly it only spreads with close contact which they define as room sharing/intimacy - this would make sense how the husband/wife got it, and the doctor who was on the ship who I imagine had pretty direct contact with treatment - but is there any close link between those people and someone else who got it? I know 2 others were cabin mates but how did it spread to them? And what’s the connection to the others? Seems more contagious than they were leading on if they can’t directly trace the contact between the patient 0 couple and the others.
