Hitting and throwing

Gosh, my son will only respond to firm and stern response and usually only from his dad🤦🏻‍♀️ from me is hit and miss. Sometimes naughty corner works and after that (can be even 5/10 seconds doesn'thave to be long time) one of us gets down to him to say in very simple words what was wrong and that he needs to apologise for hitting (thats usually the case). I would say is less frequent than it was before.
Hope it gets better for you and your little boy. Its tough for them as well x

I’ve dealt with this. I believe it’s just a phase. I would try telling him not to do that, and then redirecting each time.

It's normal for him to start boundary pushing at this age, just redirect and remind him it's not acceptable behaviour

My son is very similar. I feel like I've tried everything and nothing works, but it does get better. Keep your boundaries. Try a time out area. Send him every time. Right now he lacks impulse control. He gets the urge to hit, so he does. As he develops that in combo with the boundaries, it'll get better!!

Also, its okay to walk away. I've found myself losing patience many times and I just had to get up and collect myself.

You're not alone! Stay strong ❤️

It takes a lot of time and consistency with things like this with toddlers. Work on giving him alternatives for what to do when he gets mad. If he ever does do those things give lots of praise. Like you can tell him he can go to the couch and hit a pillow. Or ball up his fists and say “I’m so angry.” Often they just need to be explicitly taught what to do instead with whatever emotion they’re dealing with. They have no impulse control at this age. You’re definitely not doing anything wrong and taking things he throws is a great logical consequence. If he hits family members just physically remove yourself from his reach until he’s able to be gentle again.
