I know a lot of people say time outs work at home for when a child is hitting or otherwise behaving unacceptably. But my daughter has been hitting me lately when she gets mad, like in the grocery store. (She is 2 yrs. and sits in the cart while I shop.) How do you deal with it when you are out somewhere? I obviously can't use a time out in the store, and it wouldn't make sense to do it when we get home - she would never remember why, and it would be too late. Any suggestions?
Also, I won't hit her back (a bit hypocritical, when I'm trying to teach her not to hit people), all I can do is tell her not to do it. But obviously that's not always effective...
