Hello it has been a while for me to post,
busy with the summer.
I have come to a problem with my 15 month
old daughter Jaylee. She has started to
slap me and herself. She slap's herself
so hard she will cry. I am needing some
advise on how to get her to stop. The
latest thing we have tried is telling her
"nice". So what that is she will pet you
like you would a cat or dog. It has
helped but not stopped the slapping.
Any Advise?????????????????

the only bit that really worries me about
all that is that she slaps herself too.
perhaps taking her to see a shrink or
doctor may be best... =\
i'm sure there are probably childrens
educational books or something, goodluck.

my son slaps anyone he can get his hands
on but not himself. he thinks it is a game
and laughs so hard when we tell him no. it
may just be a stage she is going through

I don't think your child requires a
psychologist for something that's actually
pretty normal. Especially since my take
on the matter is at least they're not
taking out their aggressions and
frustrations on someone else. Check to
see what triggers your child's hitting
herself. I'd bet it's frustration. Chu
actually just started doing this. It's
always a simple case of
frustration. Like a box he can't open or
being told no. He'll actually slap his
own face or try to bang his head against
the ground. He's angry because he can't
do something or he can't express to me
what he wants. I've found distraction
works remarkably well at this stage, and
I'm teaching him to say "help" so that if
I'm in another room while he plays he can
call me to help him. "Help" seems to be
working the best right now and the rest of
the time I just distract him! Thank God
they're so easy to distract right now!
Try that, it's working for me.
