This week’s topic is :
If you could ask the author of What to Expect the Toddler Years, Heidi Murkoff, a question about toddlers, what would it be?
My questions would be….what to do about hitting??
Hayden can definitely get frustrated and hit us. When we tell him no, he just laughs. We have tried time out, we have tried telling him it hurts and we tell him no each time.
He doesn’t do it all the time and I know he’s frustrated and trying to express himself, but what would you do?
Post your question on your blog, and then lets hop around and help each other out!

We haven’t had to deal with hitting yet. I would think that time out would be your best bet? Our thing is throwing everything . Nothing like getting knocked upside the head with some random flying toy. Ouch!

yeah, I would try time outs. And then talk to them about why hitting is bad after the time out. Good luck!
