TANTRUMS PLEASE HELP!!
Hi ladies, hoping you can give me a bit of advice, here goes: My LO is 22 months old and has just started hitting me and having a tantrum. If he gets told off he he gives a dirty disgusted look (which he has picked up off me i'm ashamed to say) then starts throwing himself about and hitting me. I have been going down to his level when i tell him off and making sure he is looking at me and I have his attention before telling him off, but he simply gives me the disgusted look and then hits me. I tell him not to hit as it's very naughty and make him say sorry but he does it again. He is now hitting our poor dogs as well. I dont know where he has picked up hitting from as neither myself nor his dad has ever hit him and none of our family ever would, and he doesn't go to nursery. I dont want to hit him to tell him off as this teaches him it's ok to hit someone if they make you mad. He also walks round flinging his arms about afterwards and seems to be 'in a mood' for up to 15 minutes after he has been told off. any suggestions on how to tame him? is it worth trying the naughty step at his age?
any suggestions will be a huge help ?
