has anyody gone through such a face with their 1 year old?
SO many mistakes, it meant to say has anybody gone through such a phase with their 1 year old, he was just sitting on my lap trying to type my message away....
My 1 year old thinks its hilarious to hit me in the face. He does it when he is happy to see me , or when he is angry when he doesnt get things done his way. I have tried ignoring the behavior, punnishing with a severe no and putting him down. Telling him NO hitting mommy, and than hold his arms strongly, telling him NO hitting mommy, caressing my face softly with his hand telling him soooftly, soooftly but he just struggles to keep hitting. I honestly dont know how to make him stop this behavior, and am afraid he will start hitting other babies or kids. He keeps looking me in the eye while he does it, as if he is defying my authority. I dont believe in time-outs now because he wont understand that he has to stand in a corner, I think he is to young. He started doing it when he was about 6 months old but I thought it was just poor limb coordination, now he really does it on purpose. Has anybody gone through this and been able to change it? My son is very strong minded and throws a whole lot of tantrums. I also use the happiest toddler on the block techniques which help a bit but he is just sooo stubborn.
