aggressive child, help me!?
Answers:
I also have a 16 month old that does the same thing. I spank his butt(not real hard), and tell him to be nice.Then I take his hand and make him touch my face softly and repeat to be nice, these are nice touches. I can tell it gets to him because he looks at me with those big puppy dog eyes and cries. That is also the way we taught the toddlers in the daycare I worked at (minus the smack on the butt). We just took their hand and told them to use nice touches. It really does work, but it may take awhile. Hope this helps...good luck!

Bring back smacking.
Be firm with him. Time out, take away his toys, whatever works. You must get the upper hand here. say no and put him in the corner
Punch em in the face chick mama!
you are up a crick without a paddle if you can not handle him at 16 months.to Gorkel: LOL I would spank his butt. or put him in time out. You better get control over it now or it will only get worse.
go to a doctor or therapist. i know someone who has this problem (shes 2 1/2) and she and her parents go to a therapist, and it works. shes much better now, and you would not be able to tell that she hit people for fun. this is a serious problem. does he only do it to you, or does he do it to other people too?
there are many techniques.. like time out... and somehow you have to show him you are in the control of him not the other way... another suggestion you should see shows like nanny 911 etc..Talk...If thats doesn work beat his *** you need to start giving him time outs and/or taking away a favourite toy. just being firm with him will not do the trick. he needs to have some sort of consequence for his actions. good luck.
You have to be the leader of the pack and not him.
You allow him to get away with it and he will now try to get away with it more and try even more violent actions.
The home is a safe place for a kid to learn limitations, allow him this and teach him the consequences.
slap him on the thigh next time he does it and tell him NO
or try pinching his belly
children this age are too young to understand or feel apathy for something they have done, for this reason, what works best is giving them the realization that if they do something wrong/bad/hurtful it is going to hurt them
Attach one of these to your belly....

Drown him I have two special needs boys, one is autistic. I'm not saying your child is autistic, but they do have a tendency not to realize when they hurt other people because they don't recognize pain. Talk to your doctor about it. "Being clever" could also be a sign of Asperger's Syndrome which is a form of autism. Very smart, "clever", but still having some autistic tendencies like the inability to feel pain.
Do u tell him it's wrong?
oh wow. you have got a hand-full their.alot of boys go through this i think it will pass i hope for your sake it does . but if it doesn't maybe a drive to the doctors to have him checked out. that sounds stupid i know but i just can't think of anything you could do . you can't hit him or punish him at this age any way.
good luck to you i hope this stops soon.
My mother was a firm believer in "you bite (hit, pinch) me, I bite back. Not hard, but hard enough to let him know that it hurts and it's wrong. He is testing you to see what he can get away with. He's laughing because he finds your reaction funny. You must give him very clear, absolute signals, not wishy washy ones. You don't reason with them aat that age, its just 'yes' or 'no'.
You are going to have to give a clearer signal that it hurts and its not acceptable.
Yell 'Ow!' and 'No'. Then put him in a safe place for a while and walk away while saying 'No hurting'.
When you return after 3 - 5 mins or so he'll probably be having a tantrum. Just stay calm.
Whenever he repeats the behaviour go through the routine, if you don't get results fast I suggest you go see your G.P. and get expert help.
Tell him that anything he does to you, you'll do back. Then carry through, just make sure that it isn't hard enough to cause real damage. My young cousin used to get a kick out of biting people, according to my mom. One day while we were visiting he bit her on the forearm. She was in pain, but there was no blood. So I bit him on the forearm enough to cause pain, but not bleed.He stopped biting people.
