My Toddler Hits Me and I Don't Know What To Do?

My little boy did that for a while too. I got really frustrated like you, and started to read a lot about it. Many experts said that you should tell your child to not hit people because it hurts them and to instead take their aggressions out on something like a pillow. Give it to them and they can hit that instead. I tried it, and didn't really have the greatest results with it, but it is an idea for you. Really, I just continued to do my time outs with my son and he eventually grew out of it. I hope that it gets better soon!

I was  raised in a house hold where I was spanked as a child also. I hated it then but now I realize that sometimes that is what it takes. Granted, don't straight out hit, but a small light swat on the butt is just enough to get their attention. It does not hurt them, it just hurts their feelings and makes them realize what it is like. If he hits you swat him on the butt, I bet he will quit within the week.
