hitting and biting phase
Show your support
If 1/2yrs old it's just repeating yourself over and over again I'm afraid...with hitting you move their hands away and say "no,we don't hit, its not nice" ... biting move them a step back and say "no, we don't bite" I remember feeling like nothing was working at the time either but got to remember they're learning too and we did eventually get there just needs repetitive behaviour from you x
Unfortunately this is a learning stage. With the biting I have learned mine only does it when his gums are bothering him. I have been working with him on his body parts and what we have similar so we point and he will see my teeth and I saw we both have them and if he puts his fingers in my mouth I applied a little pressure so he could feel the discomfort and asked if it hurt he said yeah followed up with that's why we don't bite it hurts mommy just like you are hurting. The hitting on the other hand smh 🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️ he thinks it's a challenge if you tell him stop or duck or smack his hangs. Only thing that slows him up is if I pluck his knuckles and I hate having to do that.
My boy has begun the hitting phase as well, he’s 13 months. I’ve just been saying no hit we don’t hit, setting him down if he continues. Trying to teach him by telling him to express himself to mommy without hitting. He’s learning but is definitely testing me sometimes 😭😂
@Taeler they be testing to see how gangsta you are lol I keep telling my son "baby I'm in retirement but you keep pushing you going to meet a different version of your momma"
My son is use to all the time. Once he was a little bit older (2 1/2) we learned that alot of it was because he didn't know how else to express himself. We worked on him just stomping and saying mad and showed him safe stuff to hit/bite (ex. a pillow).
@Chelsea he is 21 months
@katherine that’s what I have been doing but when I move his hand away he starts hitting me more with aggression
Age?
