I can sooooo relate to this question… We had a dinner party at our home and invited this couple over with an 18 months old son and he kept hitting my 3 yr old daughter… that is too young to be scolded or given a time-out… he won’t even understand it. All I could do was first tell him no, no hitting and when that didn’t work I asked my daughter to stay away from him and stay with me. Then he was going around hitting other kids (a little girl his age), I had to pick him up and move him to another section of the room and gave him some toys, while his mom was busy chatting with other ladies
When his mom saw, she just gave an embarrassed laugh and said “oh, he doesn’t know how to behave with other kids since he’s at home with me all the time” I was like
How does one tackle such a situation?
18 month old child should be told firmly that he/she is doing something wrong hey u should of told her(the mom) to watch supernanny and learn how to make him understand
