[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm a white mom and my toddler has slapped me. He goes in time out. Hitting a child is only reinforcing violence, not detering it. My parents beat the crap out of me. I feared them. I'm not doing that to my children. [/quote]

Sounds like a promising young psychopath you're raising. Have fun visiting him in prison![/quote]

Really?  You're nuts.  The kid is a TODDLER.  [b]Anyone who says their toddler HASN'T hit is lying[/b].  Now, if your 5 year old did it, that's another story.[/quote]

I have three kids.  None of them ever hit, not even as a toddler.[/quote]
That's great. But most toddlers do hit. They lack the verbal skills to talk through emotions, so they act out physically. Very normal. Hitting the child back is wrong and does not teach the child hitting is wrong. Mad parents, you enable the child - not by reasoning (because they really don't understand it at this age) but by consequences. A consequence from hitting can be a time our, sitting on the think about it chair, go to their room until they calm down. [/quote]

NP here.  I'm responding to the bolded statement above. I have 2 children- the older one never hit either as a toddler or preschooler and only now, as a 6 year old, is starting to defend herself from her younger brother.  She is so passive that it's worrisome and DH and I were wondering if we needed to get medical advice as to her passivity.  On the other hand, her brother has been a hitter and a biter, so he's more than made up for her.[/quote]
