My daughter is 16 months old and is starting this "hitting" phase. I am a preschool teacher and in my classroom, you hit a friend, you get a warning, talked to, etc., and if you do it again you have to pick up your toys and go play at a table by yourself until you can control your body. I know my daughter is not old enough to understand that, but she has started hitting and getting frustrated with her friends at daycare as she is about a month and a half away from aging out of her current classroom (and there are a LOT of young ones in her class right now, like 8 month olds).
She does hit me at home and has tried to bite on a few occasions, when I give her a firm NO she laughs and thinks it's a game. I want to nip this in the butt at home so she will learn early! Help!

I teach gentle touch, and if I'm holding them - like if we're reading - and they keep hitting then I'll say "if you don't stop hitting then I'll have to put you down" and if they hit me again I put them down. Then they cry and I say "I can't hold you i
All of the above, but we are also mindful of why it's happening. Did she realize she did it (such as playing wildly with toys)? Is she over-tired? Is she annoyed and wants to be left alone and we aren't picking up for it.

My DD started biting a few months ago. I tell her "no bite" and put her down. She gets upset b/c I put her down, so I keep saying "no bite" and then eventually pick her up again. She then tells me "no bite."
I also got her a book about biting, an
