hitting

I really want to find a better solution to get DS to stop hitting before DD gets here. He only hits me and not my husband. I stay home with him all day and I would say he hits me at least five times through out the day. Smack in the face. Usually it is after I tell him not to do something and he gets frustrated. I understand that he is "at that age" but I didn't know if anyone had any good advice for me? I have tried just getting on his level and sternly explaining we don't hit because it hurts Mommy but that doesn't work. He just gets up from a time out so that doesn't work right now either. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. TIA!

    Tell him what appropriate behavior is and mimic it. Say gentle hands and put your hands over his while gently touching your face. If he continues, ignore it. Remove yourself to a place he cannot get to you and briefly ignore him. If you go back and he hits you again, repeat the process again.

    We are going through this now too. We've been doing what the PP suggested and it's been helping.

    We are going through this also. It is starting to lessen thankfully. I agree with pp. not sure how old your child is but my son is 19 months and time outs are working well. Stay on it, he'll get used to them! I would also recommend he get some sort of activity without you since you state he only does this to you. Maybe daycare one day a week?
