I just constantly say we don’t hit. Be gentle (showing a gentle pat). If he continues then I tell him again and move so he can’t hit me. You can always give them an activity to do that helps release that hitting feeling.
We redirect and show her gentle hands
We are having a hitting issue too. I’ve been teaching her to take deep breaths when she is frustrated which has helped. I also tell her gentle hands and move away from her/put her down when she hits
Following because my daughter has started the same. And nothing I’ve tried works 😭😅
