My 3 yr old hits me for no reason. I've tried patching her- completely doesn't work, timeot- hasn't gotten anywhere yet. Once I told her I'm not speaking to her and I totally ignored her and only spoke to my younger one, but I tried it today and it didn't work. Any suggestions?

my son was the same way, the best thing is when you see it coming just turn his attention to somthing else.

Many times I don't see it coming- it comes out of the blue for no apparant reason. Should I just ignore it?

maybe she's looking for extra attention? (easier to tell s/o then to practice on my own kids!) try giving her extra hugs thru out the day and see if it helps. or ask her teacher if s/t changed in school

I agree give her extra attention but also continue with not speaking to her after she hits you. I would say to my kids "I don't want to play with someone who hits" and leave the room. This worked, but you have to be patient, it takes awhile. It's what R' Keleman advised me.

that would only teach her to hit when shes upset, in my opinion. Anyways, I think kids hit because they dont have the skills or knowledge about what to do in a situation that they dont like. I would ask her why did you just hit.... and then after she answers something like... cuz I was upset, wanted that toy etc.. (whatever answer she gives..) id say "is that what we should do when we want something, or fdont like something...." and shell say NO... then I would ask her..." so what SHOULD we do...???? and then if she doesnt know say to her... Tell mommy... or tell me you dont like something... but we DONT use our hands!!!!
Ive done this for biting, scratching, kicking and other things in the classroom. after doing it alot it REALLY helps and the kids think what they should do before hitting. It also teaches them how to deal with thier emotions without being physical. a GOOD thing to know
