My 22 month old is horrendous at the moment🫣 biting, hitting, pushing, pulling and shoving not only adults but children he also wants what other children have and will just snatch it away from them.
We repeat ‘nice hands’ ‘be gentle’ ‘let’s share’ etc
But how do I make him understand what he’s doing isn’t very nice? At the end of the day I feel like I’ve just been saying his name all day and nothing else.
What can I do?

Maybe try to redirect the behaviour, if he bites give him a teether, if he hits give him something that mimics that motion. Not many young children can comprehend full sentences and only listen to snippets so maybe hes just struggling to comprehend the information or instructions you are giving him.

I'm not an expert by any means as my boy no way near this age yet but heard tht redirection can be really useful e.g. if they are doing something u don't want them too just get and say can you show me your favourite toy/ do you want to go outside/ watch fav film etc etc not nessisarily reward for bad behaviour but just ignoring the bad behaviour and distracting again I've not tried this bit just read it online

My little one had bitting period. He was trying boundaries. Redirecting him without saying words about his behaviour helped and he just stopped.
