Okay ladies I need answers. My son is a year and almost 3 months. He hits a lot! Like I don’t know…

Phase! My son did it/ does it too. And all I’ve been saying to him is “we do not hit”. That’s all the doc could suggest to me.

So you hit him and now he hits you and you don’t know where he got it from?

It sounds like he is hitting you when you do something he doesn’t like in the same way you spank him when he does something you don’t like.

I agree it’s a phase. I never spanked my daughter and she would still do that all the time. I would sternly tell her no hitting

, that’s not nice etc and if she was doing it over and over I might grab her hand and put it down and say no hitting. Sometimes she still slaps things out of my hand and it makes me so mad lol but she never hits me in the face anymore

@laniejay, I’m a first time mom so not everything I do will be Perfect :)

@rowdy-vajazzy, I was thinking the same thing, but just wanted closure on it. Thank you for the advice☺️

@tacos4lyfe, that’s honestly refreshing to hear. I do the same thing as to putting her hand down, but I’m honestly hoping it’s just a phase lol

It’s a phase, when my son was around that age he would hit and I would hit him back. If course not hard but just so he got the point. I would ask him if he liked it when I did it and after so long it caught his attention and he stopped. Now if he hits put him in time out or make him lay down. And I ask him if he wants me to do it to him, or whoever he hit ( the answer is usually no lol ) but he will apologize for hitting and continue playing nicely

@cakes, Girl she always commenting on people stuff saying stupid stuff. She aggravating. Ignore her.

@cakes, all I did was summarize what you said. Sometimes we just need to stop and think and it’s like a light goes off. Hitting is normal at that age, but even more so if they’ve been exposed to it. They learn from us. We need to be the examples of what we want them to be. He has no words (or limited) to express himself and sometimes that manifests as physical. Redirect, help him find words, remind him gentle hands. Consistency and repetition will help. There’s a gentle parenting chat I highly recommend.

@leximonae1k, you’re welcome to block me ☺️ but I promise you if you keep an open mind, you’ll learn a lot and be a better parent as a result.

@laniejay, Well I’m glad you know I was talking about you 😆I don’t need to block you because I don’t pay you any attention. You real judgmental with people’s situation and nobody really be asking for your opinion. You’re insensitive. Nobody is better than anyone else. Some people don’t know as much as others and you just be saying unnecessary stuff.

@leximonae1k, clearly I make an impression on you so you must pay me a little attention 😂

@laniejay, Nah you not important enough to make an impression on me. Neither anything that’s comes from your keyboard. You just clearly old and miserable and you have nothing better to do.

😏yet you know who I am and remember some of my comments 🤭🤔😂😂😂
