Tips on smacking 😭😔
My 2 year old has been smacking now for about 4 weeks. It started out as just me but sometimes she hits her dad now but very rare. Every time I’m near her she smacks me. We could be playing, changing her bum, bathing her and she will smack me but only me. I’ve tried everything. Getting down to her level, time out, telling off( shouting and softly), making out as if she’s really hurt me, ignoring her but nothing is working. She gets plenty of attention as she’s with me everyday. It’s sending me insane and I don’t know how to cope with her when I’m out because of people’s stares 😔😔😔

When my girl snacks I first ask her not to smack and I tell her it’s not kind and that it hurts, if she does it again then I ask her not to again and tell her that if she does do it again that I’m going to sit somewhere else/move away from her/ not play anymore and just follow through with that. Then she usually cries and gets upset when I move away from her so then I just explain simply that It’s not nice to smack and if she wants to play/ sit with me that I need to know that she’s sorry, sometimes she just nods and sometimes she’ll actually say sorry then just carry on with whatever we were doing xx
Thankyou. I’m going to try this xxx
When we went through a smacking phase I tried the gentle hands method.
Whenever she would hit, I would tell her no and say 'gentle hands' then hold her hand and stroke my face with it, and then her face, whilst saying 'gentle hands is nice' etc
Sounds wierd but it helped so much!
