My 18 month old just slapped the eff out of me
Omg!! This kid has been hitting more and more and I have been trying all of the positive discipline tips I’m finding on line. I understand it’ll take time but daaaamn it.
What worked for you?!

@Bestan thank you so much! This makes a lot of sense to me. I appreciate you taking the time mama ❤️
My son went through this phase. I agree with Bestan. We held his hand to prevent him from continuing and said "no we don't hit" We also took his hand and softly touched our face while saying "Yes! great job! Gentle touch"
Thank you!

Consistency is key. Changing your reaction to the action each time will make it more interesting to continue to see what you will do next time. Stay on the same positive disciplinary behavior when that happens. Do that and they will give up knowing nothing interesting happens, only that. For example holding his/her hands gently but firmly and saying No, hitting is wrong. I will not let you hit. Stop it now!
