At least we aren't alone in this! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/speech-delay-and-hitting#post-1929128 Tue, 04 Nov 2014 13:17:39 +0000 cheert16 1929128@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: We do have some signs (very basic ones) but they aren't really useful (at least the ones he knows) in this situation yet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/speech-delay-and-hitting#post-1929114 Tue, 04 Nov 2014 13:11:33 +0000 looch 1929114@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What about introducing some signs? I don't know how your SLP would feel about that, but it could be an option. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/speech-delay-and-hitting#post-1929098 Tue, 04 Nov 2014 13:05:06 +0000 edelweiss 1929098@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>do the daycare teachers or your pediatrician have any recommendations? from what i understand this is fairly common (but still sad and frustrating!) behavior, so you're not alone. i'm sure others will have some good advice as well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/speech-delay-and-hitting#post-1929079 Tue, 04 Nov 2014 12:57:14 +0000 wheres_c 1929079@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't have any advice, but I can sympathize. My LO is 20 months and delayed in his speech and is hitting and biting too.<br /> He got so frustrated when he was trying to walk and couldn't and I think we're seeing that frustration again with the speech. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/speech-delay-and-hitting#post-1929053 Tue, 04 Nov 2014 12:51:02 +0000 cheert16 1929053@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>B is 18 months and has a speech delay. It seems as though when he gets frustrated and cant tell us what's wrong- he resorts to hitting. ( it started off as biting- but I bit him back one day and he stopped) I am not really sure how to deal with this. At first he was just hitting me- and I would tell him "no hitting", "gentle hands", etc. But today as I was leaving dropping him off at daycare- he hit another little girl who was all up in his face.... Is it just an age thing? Is it because he cant verbalize what's wrong.... Help. How do I stop this behavior.... </p>
