I take my kid's hands and tell him firmly but gentle "no hit, soft hands" remember toddlers only hear the last two or three words you say, keep it short but impactful. Good luck to you about it!

When my step daughter would hit me. I wouldn’t say a word. I’d pick her up and stand her in the corner for timeout. She was confused at first. After explaining it to her a few times she learned rq

Time outs are gentle parenting acceptable. Hes gonna get up at million times but you gotta stick it out and put him back. And hes gotta make it til the timer goes off. The timer resets every time he gets up

Gentle parenting isn't permissive parenting. Its time for consequences for negative behavior.

Behavior= communication. Sounds like he didn’t want to sleep and hit cause he wanted to get out of it. Teach him an appropriate way to ask to push back nap time and set clear boundaries and no big reactions to hitting! (I’m a mom and behavior analyst)

In daycare and with my nephews, I’ve had the shit slapped out of me 😮💨 I gasp so loud it startles them, tell them I don’t like that firmly and then I tell them I don’t want to play with them anymore because they hurt me and nobody wants to play with someone who hurts them 🤷🏻♀️

I tell my son he’s making me feel unsafe and that i’m going to put him in a safe spot and when he is ready he can call for mom or come to mom and we can continue from there! He usually screams 1-2 times after i walk away and then he calms down and is comes and apologizes!

You get on their level, grab their hand, tell them no in the scary voice. Gotta put the fear of god in them, without touching them. My daughter was a door slammer as a toddler. She did it once. I told her in the voice you don't slam doors in my house. To this day if she does it I hear im sorry

Gentle parenting still means consequences for actions!!! No consequences is permissive parenting

Mackenzi Weaver :
as a person who doesn't have kids but has worked with them before and has kid cousins, one idea is to hold their hands and get their eye contact and explain to them how it made you feel and ask if he would like it if you hit him back, it puts it into perspective for him and makes him have to think about what he did and how it impacts others

I will catch my sons hands and say “I know you’re mad but I can’t let you hit XYZ, we need to be safe.” We got a book that talks about hitting and taking deep breaths, giving your self a hug, making fists and letting them go, or going to a safe place to cool down. I give him those options. This is working like 75% of the time, but it’s getting better.

My son is three. He is in the hitting phase and telling me to leave him alone that he doesn’t like me and that he doesn’t love me. He’s having terrible tantrums like anything set him off. I have tried the gentle parenting . I have done timeout. I’ve even done the little tap on the but. I’m doing if you’re not acting right we’re not going nowhere if we go somewhere and you start acting out well then we’re leaving. I don’t know what else to do.
