DD is 19 1/2 months and has for about 2 weeks now been hitting me if she does not get her own way. I really do not know where this has come from as we do not use smacking as a form of punishment.
DH and I try to ignore her and not give her the reaction she is looking for, or if it gets out of hand she has a short time out in her cot or on the bottom step.
However the last couple of days she has also hit a couple of friends children which she obviously needs to be told off about, I just dont know how to deal with this behaviour or how to make it stop.
