Thread: hitting,.

i need help.My 1year old son is starting to hit. i know that kids that age often
copy what you do. so you probably think i hit him while i don't. and am not sure where he is getting this from we are not around other kids often except
when we go to the park which is about 3 time a week and he see the older kids plying tag. do you think that might be it and if so what could i do to stop him from hitting me and my husband

I work at a day care but i am no professional but what i have been taught is that when a child gets frustrated they hit or bite and most of the time the frustration stems from not being able to express themself fully. We use sign language to help. simple signs like please thank you more but it does help especially with toddler learning to speak. I hope it helps.
