How do I handle the smacking? He will smack us when he doesn’t get his own way.
He can’t communicate yet, so I know that he’s frustrated but I can’t just let him smack us constantly. Especially now he is at nursery.

We just tell him not to hit etc.. it’s just a phase, little one is a nursery and doesn’t do it there but will do it to us! Same with my eldest..

Thankyou. I just don’t want him to end up doing it to another child at some point! X

We get down to his level, tell him not to hit as it hurts and ask him what it is that he wants. If he can't communicate it, we reel of a list of things he might like, to try and figure it out and redirect him. I have made a picture board of common things so when he can't find his words, he can point x
