I'm totally going to get bitched at for saying this but slap him back. (And don't even act like some of you out there aren't thinking it.) My son slapped me maybe 3-4 times before he figured it out. My best friend would get right in her child's face and yell NO. Freaked them out.

save at it. He might want to easily be puzzling both. each so often, i understand each so often as an man or woman, i think like I gotta poop and all I do is pee. also, it truly is plausible he might want to properly be slightly constipated, or, only that the sensation of the potty on his bottom hinders his ability to poop. My son had similar topics, yet he did not start up using the potty till he became close to to three. he's been using it complete time for the reason that 3 and a nil.5 and he's now 5 and has it down pat.

Unfortunately, for kids that age, it's quite common for them to act out (another famous one is biting) because they don't have the verbal ability yet to express their frustrations, so they act out. It should better as his language improves, but the only thing I can think of is ignoring the bad behaviour. If you're holding him or playing, just get up with no words or eye contact if he hits. I don't have any firsthand experience, but parenting is all about trying new things over and over. good luck

When my 2 year old hits me I tell her I don't like to be hit and hitting hurts then I turn away and I don't look at her for 2 minutes. This seems to be working.

Hmmm ... I was going to say a time out every time he does it .. he'd learn that way if you did it consistently. He'd have a lot of time outs at first .. but they don't have to be "long" time outs. I'd say "NO !" And put him in his bedroom and not let him out for a couple of minutes. Good Luck ! :)

the way I did it I held my son's hands together firm not tight and held his hands in a time out and told him no no hit and it helped alot. Babies don't like to be held in a time out. you don't have to hold his hands very long because a minute is like forever to them.

scream histerically at him. and slap him hard on the hand. and give him time out evrytime he does it. that freaks them out and you dont have to deal with it.
