Hitting and pinching?!

They're just testing cause and effect, just keep it as uninteresting as you can, i.e. ignore it. If it's to other children then remove your child from situation without giving much reaction to the behaviour.

Theyre just perfecting that pincer grasp. They dont understand theyre hurting you. I just remove my babies hand and say no thank you. I give her something else to hold to distract her from pinching me.

But also were covered in tiny bruises from her teeny tiny fingers that are so strong!!
