DS2 aged 1.2 keeps slapping me!

[duke]

DS2 keeps slapping and hitting me when he doesn't get his own way or just frustrated. I hold his hands down and firmly say no,that hasn't stopped him doing it. When he wants things he just points and screaches. Were did my sweet baby go. Any tips?

Keep trying. Absolutely stop him and tell him how unacceptable it is. Ignoring him after for a short while may help too, he will hate it!
Good luck, and always remember, it is usually 'a phase'!!
