Help please how to stop my 2yr old hitting me?
Answers:
Give him a time-out each time he does it. Just for a minute or so whenever it is possible.
Tell him "Hitting Mommy is not allowed. If you do it again you'll get a time out" When he does it again, take him to his room and put him in. It's okay to close the door if he won't stay in his room. Make sure he stays in his room for at least a minute. 2yo don't understand time outs very good, but if you are consistent for at least 3 days he will learn that when he hits you he gets sent to his room and will most likely stop.
Consistency is the key, and the hardest part. You have to do it each time or it won't work.
when he goes to hit you gently grab his hands & hold them tell him that it is not the way to show he's upset &
that he needs to use his WORDS not his hands
when he yells tell him you are not going to listen,walk
away & tell him to come to you when he's able to
TALK & not yell
good luck
Punish him by putting him in time out. But first explain to him that it is not OK to hit you or yell at you. If he continues then punish him with time out. If that does not work, take away his favorite item. If that does not work, you might have to try spanking. I am totally against spanking but I know there are some children who need it. Good luck. By the way, when you do put him in time out, use his age for the minutes he stays there, i.e. he is two years old, put him in time out for 2 minutes.
