he likes to just play and punch me . I try telling him to stop and it hurts and he just laughs. His daycare teachers say they have no problem with him wanting to fight kids at school. Any advice?

I agree with the first 3 answers. He'll act like that but then if I'm watching the ER premiere and im crying, he goes to the bathroom grabs some toilet paper and says"Here momma let me blow your nose for you K" those damn kids lol. They can be such terror at times but the other times when theyre sweet and funny, every bad time melts away.

My 3 year old does the same thing, when he does it, I grab him softly and look at him in the eyes and say, "Cole, that hurts mommy when you punch and hit me. Please don't do it again." By using his name he knows I am serious. Buy stating that it hurts, they know. If he does it again, I tell him that I am going to put him in Time out, I sit him in a chair and explain why he was there. After 3 mins (1 min per year of child) I tell him that I would like an apology and that if he keeps hitting me, that I would put him in Time out again. Since doing this, he has gotten better.

You have to sit him down with just the right amount of force and explain to him that this isn't the appropriate way to play with you. Tell him that it isn't fun and it hurts you and if he doesn't stop you are going to give him a spanking to help him understand. Then if he does it again remind him of what you told him and of what the consequences would be and give him a spanking. Then ask him if he thought if was fun getting spanked and explain to him that when he hits you it's like you spanking him and that's why he needs to stop.

Yes, my advice would be to tell him this is not acceptable. You let it start and it could become an issue. Tell him that hurts mommy and he should not hit anyone. Ask him do you want mommy to hit you like that? He will most likely say no--then say well please don't hit me.
Or say something like mommy likes it when you are a big boy--big boys don't hit there mommy!

How are you wording it? I would tell him that we don't hit people. And then reinforce it with how it makes you feel and he'll start feeling bad that it makes you feel sad when he hits you. But never hit him back because that just says it's ok to do it.

You have to tell him very firmly 'NO' and say ouch with intensity. Almost to the point of scaring him. If he continues the behavior, punish him. It sounds like he is doing it for your attention. You may have to make him go to his room by himself for awhile. If he does stop, be sure to praise him by giving him the attention he seeks. And reward him with love and thanks.
