1) Timeouts don't work.
2) Spanking? Of course not.
3) Saying, "We don't hit. Hitting hurts" has no effect at all.
4) Pushing him away and saying, "I won't pick you up when you hit" seems to make it worse. No, I don't mean shoving, but it was suggested to not pick him up or interact with him when he is being agressive...his response so far is to hit harder.
Our toddler is generally friendly and good-natured, he just seems to lack impulse control and can be aggressive. We've read every theory we can find and listened to tons of advice but had no luck.
Help! I am getting the tar beat out of me by a two-year-old!
