When to start hand smacking?

Question

Answer

When they are old enough to understand "no" my daughter just turned 1 and we had to start popping her hand. Not hard at all just enough to make her realize that what she is doing is wrong it's more like a pat.

Answer

Never. The day I feel the urge to hit my child is the day I check myself into hospital to get a handle on myself.

Answer

Never

Answer

I'm not.

Answer

I was always told do not hand smack.  Always smack their bottom tush if needed.  Their hands are full of little veins you can accidentally pop.  Just something to think about.

Answer

Only if and when you feel your child needs it.
