Hitting!

Our lil Girl is 1yr and nearly 5 months. She has been going through this hitting phase for a few months and i think it's getting worse. I think alot of the time it's when shes tired or very excited about something. At the moment we say NO and sit her down facing away from us. We've also tryed ignoring it and walking away. Am just wondering if anyone has come up with a method that works well? as so far its just been me and her Dad, but i don't want it to exstend to other people too .

sounds to me like your doing the right thing ignoring and facing her away. Children this age usually hit out of frustration and you can ask what she was frustrated at and give her an alternative way to deal with it but TBH she is probably too young to grasp that at the minute.
