What’s the best way to deal with a child that hits?

Watch their behavior and be ready fir it to happen and correct then before they even raise a hand.

I only have a toddler boy so idk but imthats how i would handle it if my son did that.

I would give attention for all good behavoir and as soon as she hits remove all attention and yourself from her.She will get the message.

My niece was like this. We told her if she hits, then it’s fair game that the other person hit back. Once she realized everyone hits harder (not like a punch, but a good smack on her hand or leg) then she learned it wasn’t a good idea anymore

I used to take care of a kid who bit herself (hands and arm) and screamed her lungs out every time she got upset. I held her hands out of the way and told her to just breathe till she settled down. It worked. Maybe it’d work for a kid who hits too. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Give her an alternative to hitting.

A smack on the back of their hand, just enough to sting, make it clear that it’s an unacceptable act and an immediate consequence will follow.

1. Wait. She probably won't be doing this when she's 21.

2. Explain to her that hitting is not acceptable and when she hits someone in aggression she will be hit back. (You actually have to follow up on this :( )

Hit or smack her once on her hands hard right after she hits. So she immediately knows what it was for. That is the only way for her to realize that she will get it back. Or someone stronger than her in school will do that and it will evolve in a bigger conflict with their parents teachers etc I did it with my son when he was 4 ,he gave me that WTF look then couple of more talks and that was it.

Fight them :))

string and tie arms behind so cant hit.

Arm wrap! Both arms around and immobilize her for a minute or two.
