[quote=Anonymous]I hate the hitting worse than anything else; it's my personal trigger (my husband gets more upset from screaming.) I've overreacted a few times so I understand where you're coming from OP. With my second child I've been very rigorous about timeouts, especially for hitting, even before he could fully grasp the concept. Too much Supernanny watching, I guess - I do the whole routine (don't get angry, put them in a consistent spot, explain why, give a hug and kiss when the timeout is done and the apology is given.) Maybe he is a more pliabler personality than his older sibling was, but it does seem to work. Now, 9 times of out 10, all I have to do is say the word time out and he walks over to the stairs and sits on the step and immediately starts apologizing. We still have occasional hitting, but it's not nearly as bad as with the first child.[/quote]
