Toddler Hitting

My almost 1 year old has began this and I asked my friend her advice (she's got 4 monsters of her own) and she swears by ignoring it. Stand up walk away show no attention to it. My little one also laughs when she does it and I tell her no or give a stern look but ignoring it has began to get her to lose interest. But it's early days yet 😅

My son went through this phase as a toddler! We introduced the naughty corner and would remove little privileges like treats. We did not punish a tantrum because they are still regulating their feelings only if he hit us so he knew that was a boundary. It did take a bit of time for him to stop but we got there. I think he might have been a bit older probably 2/3 so i would just say a firm no and then ignore until they are calmer. Shes still little so maybe when shes a little older she might understand consequence a bit more. But try not to worry or stress its very very normal! Xx

@Tammi that's great that its started to work 😊 fingers crossed that continues for you! Thank you will give it a go 😊

@Hayley thank you that was really helpful, will give this a go too 😊. Guess it's just one of those things I'm trying to nip in the bud now but I'm sure I will have a lot like this over the next few years 😂 x.
