How do you make a 4 year old girl stop hitting her older brother?

Answer 1

brothers and sisters do that type of thing. when he gets enough he will slap the s#%@ out of her and that will be the end of that.

Answer 2

The best thing is to seperate the children. But first find out why the girl is hitting. Has the brother been teasing her? This is a typical boy activity and should not be overlooked, boys love to get a response from girls. It is their way of showing off. If there is no reason why she should be mad with the brother and she is just being a bully, looking for attention, then tell her firmly "no" and place both children in their rooms. Her for punishment and him for a quiet time to recover from the hit. The girl should be ignored for that time. Do not give her any attention. The boy could be read to perhaps. The children shouldn't be shut away for any more than 5 minutes, then brought together again to see if they could get along. If they are playing together then give the girl lots of praise and attention. Read to both children with the girl on your lap if possible. This lets her know that she is loved and the previous punishment now all over.

Answer 3

Well back in the day they would say have him hit her back but then your just teaching a boy its okay to hit a girl and thats a big no no.....Every time she hits him dont yell and scream take her away from what she is doing and put her in time out..She is four so that means 4 min in time out...no talking or playing while she is in time out..Make sure she understands that hitting is not acceptable...

Answer 4

The first key is to catch her in the act with it. It isn't fair to punish her an hour later when he tells on her. You can however ask her if she hit him, and remind her that hitting is not allowed.

When you do catch her, put her into a designated time out spot (a chair in the corner). She is to stay there for a designated time. If she gets up, put her right back into it. She likely will try to test the boundaries the first several times. Stay firm, but calm (yelling doesn't really help). Once her time is back ask her for an appology.

Answer 5

When she hits her brother or anything, gently tell her you would hit her back instead of anyone or anything she bullies and ask her how she would feel if she would get hit by someone for no reason. She probably wouldn't like the idea of getting hit, then she would eventually and hopefully stop doing so to others.
It's good time for her to learn how other would feel by her action and how she would like others to treat her.

Answer 6

Depends... are you the older brother or the mom or what?

Older brother: Tell her no. Be nice to her so she doesn't have a reason to hit.

Mom: Tell her no. Tell her why, EXACTLY why. Offer an alternative, such as gently patting him on the back.

Answer 7

I would put her on time out and then how ever long you have her on time out when her time is up go up to her and explain to her why she was in time out... If she gets up from her seat the first time from time out go and get her and put her back in her seat and tell her each time she gets out she will be put back and a minute will be added.. but don't stand there when she's in time out... just walk away...Good luck!!

Answer 8

you should try being nice and sit down and make them both apolagize OR just ask the older brother to spend quality time with her. with time im sure she'll stop

Answer 9

unwavering punishment (not physical) such as long time outs, loss of things she likes, etc. do not change the consequences, and dont be soft.

Answer 10

u need to appeal to her sense of reason and intellect...ask her if she thinks that it is the proper and moral thing to inflict bodily injury upon her sibling--just in the name of relieving her individual stress levels...remember that her self-esteem is at stake...she should be able to understand that

or...u could let them settle it....
