Karter is 10 months old & has the worst attitude. anytime i do something he doesn’t like, he’ll smack me, especially in the face 😒 idk what to do to get him to stop?! anytime i verbally tell him something in my “mom” voice he just looks at me and laughs. i try to be firm & stern & he takes me as a joke lol i don’t want him to think hitting is okay, & i know he’s starting to understand what “no” means bc i say it like 109 times a day. idk what to doooo

Tell him gentle touches and show him how to touch gently. Then redirect. He’s still very young- it’s not intentional and developmentally appropriate. Try saying no less and showing what to do instead.

I tell my son no and take him hand and make him rub my face and I say nice hands. At 10 months old they don’t know any better. I even have to remind my 2.5 year old of nice hands gentle hands and keep doing it every time they hit

I am teaching my daughter "DON'T" instead of NO because she already laughs at NO 🤣 Also since we have a sort of not so kid friendly dog in the house I been teaching her nice and when I say nice she turns to a pet instead of hit.

He’s a baby just gently say no and show him how to be gentle. He doesn’t understand and he’s not smacking you on purpose. He’s gonna be a completely different baby in the next few months it’s all apart of learning and exploring.

If he's smacking you in retaliation he absolutely does understand.
When ds 3 did this I would immediately set him away from me and tell him I will not hold him if he's going to hit.
He would cry or get upset and when he'd come up to me Id take his hands and gently touch my face and say nice.
It didnt take long for him to stop.
Just don't ever smack him back lol. The families I know who hit back, their kids are STILL hitting. Imagine that?

Tell your bf too. More and more research is showing the negative affects of physical discipline.
