Help my 4 year old hit me! what should i do?

you can't discipline hitting with more hitting. It sends the wrong signals. "I can hit you but you can't hit me'. get down to her level, explain that it is not ok and that there will be repercussions for it. Warning first, then punishment. It is probably a phase and they normally last 3-4 wks but don't let you get the impression that her acting out is ok.

um maybe slap her hand and asked her if it hurt and she will say yes and then tell her why it isnt okay to hit back, you might have to try it a few times but good luck, im dealing with the same thing with my 2 yr old

She's 4 she has no concept of not playing with ds for a week. (No concept of time) Punishments shouldn't last more than 4 MINUTES not a week anyway. I won't even go into the ludicrousness of you hitting her to teach her not to hit. All that did was tell her hitting was OK. It's simple. Grab her arm (gently but firmly ) when she hits and tell her it's not nice to hit. The next time tell her No HItting. Reinforce it with words until she understands. But YOU have to stop hitting too for her to learn it.

I think the spanking its self will send the warning. Banning her from her sister won't do much at all, she won't understand. She lashed out once, it doesn't mean that she is going to do it again. focus and her positive behavior and reinforce that. she is 4, she is learning, keep that in mind.

I'm a women of God and the good Lord says "spare the rod, spoil the child. I believe on spanking my kids, not beating them but giving them a good spanken. She should understand that she is a child and she can't do everything I do. I drink soda and put makeup on and dye my hair, I'm not going to stop doing those things just because she is not able to do those things right now. I don't want to give her the idea that she is an adult and she can do what I can.

Spanking is fine..YOUR the adult and she is the child..she must learn that...My daughter has only hit me once...She has never tried again
