How do I stop dd (3) from hitting me?

If I have told her no or not to do something she has start to slap me, mostly right across the face. If I say to not smack mummy she generally will do it again!

I have never smack her, I was smacked as a child and it has effected me ( although my mother do not believe this and will say I am misrepresenting what happened). She has not witnessed any violence in the household. She has gone to nursery for a couple of days a week for about 8 mths now.

I have tried explaining why she shouldn't smack that it hurts and makes me sad and I have tried timeout/naughty spot.

What can I do? I especially don't want this to start with other people/children. She is only just 3. Tia

My DS went through a similar thing... The naughty step did the trick for us... but took about a week or so for him to understand that everytime he doesnt have kind hands or feet thats where he will go. How long did you try it for?
