@everythingllifestyle: I’m not going to let you _____ Hit. Push. Bite. Kick. Throw. Whatever. We learned this from @Dr. Becky | Psychologist when the twins were having a tough time with hitting. Though our preferred method is to ‘remove them from the fun’ - this is our other go-to. Regardless, gentle hands never worked and consistent corrective action did.
For everyone wondering, this is ACTUAL gentle parenting! Great job mama!! 💓

It’s so hard to teach this, especially when we pat their bums to get them to sleep. It must be so confusing for them 😭

What difference does it make? Say “Do not hit me!” and leave it at that. What do you mean “not going to let you”. That makes no sense.

He’s like “I just hit you six times and you said nothing.”

This is exactly when gentle parenting often fails because parents will reinforce the behavior (hitting, kicking, pushing, etc) by redirecting the behavior to inanimate objects instead of setting a boundary. And it doesn’t mean you need to yell or be abusive towards a kid. Good on you for setting a clear boundary

I always said to my daughter at that age “I don’t hit you and you don’t hit me”.

You don't need to tell them it's valid and understandable to be frustrated that they cannot hurt someone; that's actually nuts.

yes!! another option is to offer them something they can hit (toy drums, a tambourine, etc). “we don’t hit people, but here, if you want to hit, hit ____”. it’s annoying, but they learn through their senses at these ages… and touch is one of em 😭
