15mo hitting (urgent help, please)

[BlackRose]

My DS did that, and still does it on occasion. He knows it's wrong but I think it's still a way for him to express himself because he can't verbally explain how he feels. We just do the low calm voice 'No hitting, be gentle' and move on to something else.

Hope your DD grows out of it soon!! xx

She's so young still, she's not being mean or a bully, more like wow look what happens when I do that! Lol

I usually go uh ah and say that hurts mummy and distract, distract, distract.

It gets harder as they get older unfortunately lol
