what would be your revert when your toddler hits you ?

If they hit you/someone, for the first time explain why it is not good to hit people. If the hitting continues, you can maybe give him/her a time out. Don't hit them back in any way because this could confuse them or teach them other bad ways to behave, and it is likely that you will regret it later.

Start with giving them a warning and then pick out a spot with I have a time out for about 10 minutes if they decide to do it again simply just put them back for 10 minutes after giving them another warning in that case explain to them once they are done with the time out what they did wrong also tell them before you put them in time out you are going in timeout because you misbehaved do it with a Stern voice that should help out and if it does not I'm sure there are other suggestions in the comments that may be useful to try remember never hit your child you're teaching them that hitting is ok

I'm not a parent, but when my siblings and I used to do this to my mom she would pretend to cry so we would feel bad. You just need to teach them it's not acceptable to try to hurt someone.

It's not ok to hurt a child (or anyone at all), so if you hit them as punishment it will just teach them that it's ok to do.

Tell them to stop. Hold their hands and tell them 'no'.

Negative reinforcement-- put them down, they lose my attention. Or try to redirect their attention. Depends on the situation.

They keep doing it, they get a time out.

They all go through that stage. With patience they learn. It's important to remember that kids mostly learn by modeling our behavior, so if we remain calm and controlled they will eventually learn to be calm and control themselves.

that is not ok, even as a toddler to let them hit you. that is the time to teach them that it's not ok

I generally catch their arm (kids tend to telegraph their punches) and inform them 'no'.

If they sneak one by, then they get complimented for being faster than daddy.

Hold both arms, look them in the eye and say "no hitting."

Of course, hitting the child is counterproductive.

A hard smack on the butt and a warning that when you hit someone you get hit back so don't hit.

I'd pull them by their ear and lay their stomach on my lap, then I'd pull their pants down and expose their bare asshole and smack their little fanny until they're balling. They need to know who the boss is and that what they did was unacceptable.

thanks for the answers....
