Where do these kids come from? 
Thankfully my co-worker came to my rescue (she has been hit by same child as well).
I went home and had a banana split. If this kid keeps it up I'm going to be as big as a house!
What if you took a second to reflect to the child what he/she must be feeling at that moment "You seem very angry." ("Don't you dare" sounds like a challenge to me.) You'd be amazed at the changes in their actions when we change our reactions.
