Time-outs did nothing; as 1.5 year olds (really until age 3) children are not developmentally equipped to understand them. For my sons (both hit a lot), it would come and go. It was just how they were. Nothing I did helped the situation. NOTHING. But they are both super sweet, well adjusted kids (who went to kindergarten and don´t hit there!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-behavior-2#post-2925547 Fri, 19 Nov 2021 06:40:52 +0000 caitcat 2925547@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I second Janet Lansbury for this age! I also found the book "How to Talk So Little Kids Will Listen" helpful as we got closer into the 2-3 years stage, and wish I'd read it a little sooner than I did. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-behavior-2#post-2925546 Thu, 18 Nov 2021 23:03:19 +0000 Chuckles 2925546@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I absolutely love Janet Lansbury's website all about respectful parenting that is caring but also sets boundaries for children. She has lots of info about the tantrums and mild aggression of the early toddler years. janetlansbury.com </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-behavior-2#post-2925545 Thu, 18 Nov 2021 21:35:55 +0000 ineebee 2925545@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I highly recommend starting to follow Dr Becky on Instagram. </p> <p><a href="https://instagram.com/drbeckyatgoodinside?utm_medium=copy_link" rel="nofollow">https://instagram.com/drbeckyatgoodinside?utm_medium=copy_link</a></p> <p>She is THE child psychologist with the best actionable advice to generously make sense of our kids’ behavior, and help them develop into empathetic, confident people.</p> <p>Her most recent podcast episode is all about 1-year-olds!

Say, "you can't hit Mommy, but you can hit a pillow when you are mad." Or, "we only throw balls." They are just learning what the rules are and toddlers are supposed to push against them to learn the limits. Validate the feeling and offer an alternative to the behavior you don't want.</p> <p>We don't do time outs, but if things are really bad, we have a "break". Just one minute where we put her in her crib or room to reset. (And honestly, it's more for me, as a reset, so I come back to the issue after a deep breath) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-behavior-2#post-2925540 Thu, 18 Nov 2021 13:42:04 +0000 azbaby 2925540@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My 1.5 year old has turned into a full toddler. She hits when mad and throws her toys at us. We're working on time outs. What did you do to help stop and/or redirect the behavior? </p>
