toddler hitting?!😫

My daughter would kick hard while changing her diaper. I just kept saying don't kick while holding her legs still. And it eventually stopped. If she's not hitting hard, it's kind of cute 😄 It will probably just stop.

Umm.. Did I write this?! Literally same here. My daughter is also 1yo & every time I take her to toddler groups she's hitting people in the face & I've been trying to teach her to be gentle & she does it when I say but then still hits🤦🏾‍♀️.. Literally made a post last week too 😂

My son did the same thing he just keeps hitting and laughs, honestly I was thinking maybe it’s my in laws spoiling him or childminding. It really upset me today

They grow out of it. Just keep doing what you’re doing with the “kind hands” things. All kids go through the hitting stage.

Thought we’d escaped this as he got to almost 2 and a half and was still an angel… then some kind of switch flipped and we had 3 weeks of hell! Repetition of kind hands, no big reactions and making up a bedtime story with his comfort toy about not hitting have drastically reduced the hitting… now it’s only if he’s overtired or when he’s had a tooth cutting through that we’ve experienced the hitting… Good luck!
