Hi ladies
My son has started hitting quite a bit, my eldest is the complete opposite so we never had this issue. Does anyone have any recommendations on tips to help him to stop this? I’ve tried being firm with him but he doesn’t seem to get the message. Thank you.

My LB hits sometimes, usually me, and usually out of excitement. He does also try and hit our dog sometimes as well. I say no, be gentle. And then use his hands to stroke where he's just hit. It's taken us a fair few weeks, but he's finally getting there. Now if he hits I say no and he'll stroke me. I'm hoping it won't be long until the hitting stops! X

Ours does the same. It's quite stressful sometimes at the playground coz he will pull others kids if they come near him. We do the same gentle hands, no and show him to stroke them gently. He isn't there yet but we keep trying. at the nursery it seems he doesn't do it so only around us
Thanks yeah it’s only around us xx
