My 14 dd is generally lovely, however over the past month has started hitting. Generally it is either DH or I, but she has done it to others as well. It is generally when playing or talking to her. She will grin at you, lamp you hard in the face....and then lean in for a big kiss.
So far we have started saying NO very firmly and pushing her away, and then not responding when she wants a kiss (quite hard as v cute!)She seems oblivious to this and carries on grinning/playing, and two minutes later it all happens again.
Any other tips? She understands a lot, and her own language is coming on in leaps and bounds, but she is still essentially a baby and I think struggles with cause and effect. I'm guessing the 'naughty spot' is a bit advanced (now dd, you are to stay on the naughty spot for 1 min 20 secs and then say sorry...oh hang on you can hardly speak...!!)
