i really need some ideas here. i don't really want to smack my 1 year old (I'm talking about a tap on the hand though not a 'real' smack). She is just getting at that stage where she's trying things repeatedly to see my reaction, throwing little wobblys and being very very wilful. I know this is very normal.. just need some tips.
Anyone with ideas would really be appreciated. does distraction really work and at what age is that not effective. Does it really teach them whats right and wrong?
