What type of discipline for this problem, if any. She seems to understand that it is wrong but she still does it. She does it to her mother too.

Just grasp her wrist firmly (don't squeeze, just hard enough to get her attention) and look her in the eye and say "NO" in a low firm voice. Eye contact is important. It may take a few times but be consistant and it will work.

A good flick on the hand and a very firm NO!! will get her attention. My 18 month old does this occassionally, and we do that to her and she knows we mean business. When you tell her no, get on her eye level and say it and hold the look for a few seconds. Don't just say no as she runs off laughing at you. Make it a big deal that we don't hit! Let her know you are serious and do it every time until she stops. She'll get the message.

My answer is different but it worked for me. My daughter did this also and every time I would act like it really hurt me and cry. She would just break down and hug me and understand that it was creating pain. The hitting stopped after a while. I know some kids don't react to that though, so good luck with what you try.

I don't want to give the wrong impression here but, sometimes they need what they are giving out, please don't misunderstand me, I am NOT condoning slapping the child, what I mean is she might not understand that hitting hurts so, maybe a little slap back will do the trick, I have four kids of my own and I know that kids will test just how far they can go, being consistent is the key, be firm with the same kind of punishment and don't waver in the least, if you do she will catch it and ride it to no end, like my littlest one does, : )

Gently grab her hand (the one she's swinging at you), be firm and tell her NO, that hurts! Don't smile or in any way show weakness. Repeat about a billion times until she's sure you mean it and she'll stop. She isn't going to be happy with you but hey that's life.

Grab her hand firmly, not enough to hurt but to get her attention, look her in the eye and firmly tell her "No". You will have to do it more than once, but it does get better. Good luck.

you have to tap her hand before the situation really gets out of control I dont mean punch her becuz she still is a child but, tap her hand and said no no so she can know what she doing is wrong

i have an 18 month old little girl too and what i do is say "do you need to go to timeout?" in a stern voice. the funny thing is that she has never been in timeout, she doesnt know what it is, she just knows its not good by my tone of voice. it works every time. my daughter hits too, i think it is just a phase.
