2.2 year old d.s hitting other children?...

[motherbeyond]

....so embarrassing.we have just had to leave a party because he hit 3 different children.

i have a just turned 4 year old dd and she never did anything like this.

if does hit at home and i always give him one warning then the naughty corner a la supernanny...he gets very upset,says sorry,we have cuddle and a kiss,he seems really repentant...and then 2 hours later he hits again!

any tips? im really pregnant and finding it very difficult

just keep going telling him its wrong. he is only 2, he's just learning whats acceptable and unacceptable behaviour. Just keep reinforcing it. Its good that he gets upset and he's understanding he's done some wrong.

well,you would think so..but then he does it again!
this all started when he was hit really aggresively by an older child.it's just really embarrassing,i was sitting with my friend at a soft play centre,when her 4 year old came up to her crying saying my ds had bitten his toe?!!

I think biting is a bit different, my DS has never been a hitter but he did go through a biting phase at around 2.

A friend of mine has a DD who was a hitter - she did what you've been doing and the DD is lovely now.

Keep persevering and ranting on here if you need to

PS - the other parents will be pleased to see you dealing with it. Me and my DS went out with a parent and her DS for the day and the other DS hit my child twice and nothing was said - i was seething becuase it wasn't dealt with it - by the way they're 7 and should definitely know better.

i don't know how you managed to keep your cool!!i can't abide lazy parenting,especially when it effects my dc's.if they misbehave,they know there will be consequences...doesn't seem to have deterred the little man thus far,however!!

my DS was really bad for this at 16 months, and it's slowly gotten better over the months so far. He is going to be 3yo soon and it's happening less now, v rare for him to do this now. It is VERY embarassing - it causes me a lot of anxiety because I wonder 'what is he going to do when we're out'.

What I do is watch him like a hawk when out and about so I'm always there to stop him if he's about to hit, or just hit another child so that he has to apologise to the child and realise it is NOT acceptable behaviour. I don't like having to follow him around but there's no way I'd just leave him hitting other DC and letting him away with it - they have to learn that it's not how you treat others and it's to get nipped in the bud.
