Did your hitting and biting toddler grow up to be a kind and pleasant person?

Most of the time ds (15 months) is a happy little boy but when he doesn't get what he wants he will throw things at you, punch you in the face with his tiny little hands, bite or pull your hair. And he always wants something. And gets very, very upset if he doesn't get it.

i wouldn't mind the actual actions if they were age appropriate or something kids grow out of but I'm a bit concerned because we never experienced this kind of behaviours with DD. He hits, bites and pulls her hair as well if he's upset.

I'm really worried whether this is normal and if it's any indication of his personality, or of how he will be when he's older. Is he going to be bad tempered, unpleasant or violent when he grows up?

Has anyone had a toddler like this who then grew up to be a considerate and kind person?

Is there anything we can do to help him become like that?

I've known youngsters with ASD who were still doing this at 9- 10 years old who've grown up into kind considerate people. It's not too early to be teaching about kind hands but I wouldn't worry yet.

Yes, DS I suppose. He's just a baby, still learning.
Be glad he wants to stand up for himself.
