I agree with you. You say, no hitting, hitting hurts, calmly and redirect. Over and over and over. This too shall pass [ Reply | More

ITA. Really hard to teach them at that age that hitting hurts b/c they're still not totally up on the idea of others having feelings. Just repeat, repeat, repeat the message until they get old enough to get it. My 24 mo still sometimes hits me and then laughs, not even out of anger, just out of . . . exuberance. It's really annoying. [ Reply | More

at this age, it is usually tied to the dc not having the words to express frustration (or many different emotions). work on teaching more words and try to intercede when you think it is going to happen. be consistent in terms of discipline (say no, remove from situation, etc) [ Reply | More
