How to educate a one-year-old baby who hits others?

After birth, babies slowly begin to come into contact with the world and living environment. As they grow up, they are ignorant about many things. It is also common for one-year-old babies to hit others. Parents need to give correct guidance and education in time, tell their children more stories, and set a good example for their children by leading by example.

How to educate a one-year-old baby who hits others?

Don’t teach your baby to hit others: Is there anyone who would teach their baby to hit others? Don’t worry, there are still many parents like this. For example: a family is playing happily together, and the baby suddenly hits his mother. As a result, the father or grandmother next to him laughs and tells the baby to hit his mother again. The baby does so, which causes laughter from the whole family. At this time, the baby will think that hitting others can make people happy, and he will not think there is anything wrong with hitting others.

Tell your baby clearly that this is wrong: If your baby has a habit of hitting others, tell him immediately that this is wrong when he is hitting others. Some parents just laugh it off when they see their babies hitting others. This is very bad. If the baby sees that you don't stop him, it means there is nothing wrong with the behavior and it may even draw other people's attention to him.

Stop it immediately: Some parents may say that they should save their baby's face and talk to him afterwards. However, babies usually hit others only when there are other people around. For a one or two-year-old child, can he understand if you explain the reason to him afterwards? Therefore, when the baby has any bad habits, we stop it immediately and tell him seriously: This is wrong and you cannot hit others.

When we see our baby hitting others, as parents, in addition to telling the baby seriously that this is wrong, we should also find out why the baby hits others, whether it is because the baby snatched our toys, or because we don’t like the baby, or for some other reason. We can use these reasons to help the baby solve these problems and resolve the problems fundamentally. This way the baby will know what to do next time, which is not to hit others.

Don’t beat or scold your baby: If you encounter impatient parents, when they see their baby doing something wrong, they beat or scold the baby without knowing the right or wrong. This will make the baby very confused. Why can you hit me but I can't hit others? Also, babies have strong learning abilities, and babies raised by impatient parents are mostly impatient.

Teach your baby various ways of expression: As an ignorant child, all the words and actions in the process of growing up are learned through imitation. Babies don’t know what certain actions mean, so we need to teach them various ways of expression in our daily lives. For example, shaking hands means welcome, waving means goodbye, pointing at something means you want it, etc.

Play more with your baby, play building blocks together, string beads together, and other small games. This not only exercises the baby's thinking ability, but also makes the baby's personality become smooth and well-behaved. In fact, many bad factors such as babies' bad tempers mostly come from adults. As long as we accompany the babies carefully, teach them more when educating them, do not beat or scold them, and be calm. Then the baby educated in this way will definitely be well-behaved.

Family members work together: When it comes to educating a baby, try to be consistent with the opinions of your family, and work together to educate a smart and well-behaved baby. Take the case of the baby hitting others. Mom says that hitting is not allowed, dad has no reaction to hitting, but grandparents support it. So what should I do? This will make the baby feel at a loss.

Changing a baby's bad habits is not something that can be done overnight, so as parents we must be patient. Of course, if we can correct our baby’s bad habits as soon as we discover them, the effect will be much better.

Precautions

As parents, never hit or scold your baby at will, and speak to your baby gently.
