2 yr old dd has been hitting a lot. We've made it clear, and I think she understands, that it's wrong. But, she keeps doing it. Anyone had similar experiences? WDYD? [ Reply | Watch | Flag ]

A few tricks you may want to try: Pick one or two and be very consisten for a week. 1. Give no attention to her for hitting. 2. Give lots of attention to the one who has been hit. Oh honey, are you hurt, let me see your boo boo. 3. DD is told "hands are for hugging," not " no hitting" when it happens." 4. Catch her being good. Notice when she uses her hands for hugging or being gentle and lavish, lavish praise on her. [ Reply | More

^^^and I agree with the responder below that for some kids, you may be working on this for a very, very long time. Redirecting is especailly good for biting, I found, btw. [ Reply | More

state clearly that it is not acceptable. don't over talk it in case there is negative attention associated. mostly though, remove from the situation and redirect until it passes (which may be a long time) and in the mean time make sure that the parents of kids she is hitting hear you telling her and see you acting on it. she will outgrow it if you stick with it, but for some kids it does not stop immediately no matter what you do because they just can't control the impulse until at some point they can...sorry its difficult [ Reply | More
