[quote=Anonymous]My son had a hitting phase around 18 mo or so. The solution was a combo of time/speech development plus I would try and stop his arm before he made contact and simply say "I will not allow you to hit me". He stopped and it was not a problem again until about age 3. This time he would hit maybe a few times a week (so not a lot in my book), only at me (mom), and in frustration when he was not allowed to do something. Every time I took him aside and told him he was not allowed to hit, that hitting hurts and we were going to stay seated together until he was calmer. We'd often end with a hug and I'd try to put into words how I thought he felt. I might have amped up my response if the hitting was happening more frequently but this worked for us. [/quote]
