OK, I am new here. But I need help!
For awhile, my daughter has been hitting me in the face. Only recently it seems like she is doing it on purpose and to get a reaction. I believe she is doing it on purpose because she will hit me once, hard, on the face, and then she will laugh. Ive tried grabbing her hands, and sternly telling her no. That has not worked, she only laughed harder. Recently, I have tried saying "owww!!!" and fake crying. It worked for a while, because she realized that she was hurting me and it was not OK. Now, I think she knows that I am fake crying, because she just laughs, and hits me again.
What do I do!? This probably happens at least once a day. She just turned one a couple weeks ago. Will she grow out of this if I ignore it? She doesn't do it to her dad.
