Question

Help my 4 year old son hits me what should i do???

Answer 1

Put him in time out, and take something away from him that he likes like a toy or a movie. If that doesn't work there is always a good old fashion whipping!

Answer 2

Stop spanking him first of all, if you're spanking him bc he's hitting you...well you do the math. But you set him in time out every time until he stops throwing the tantrum and you take away his favorite toy. Then when he's calmed down you go in and talk to him. Also, as soon as he hits you start play crying real hard and act like he really hurt you. He needs to learn that it hurts when you do this to other people. Hopefully he will get the point, just keep it up until he's over this phase.

Answer 3

watch super nanny... she really shows ya how to deal with problems like that. Put him on the naughty stool and make him sit there for 5 minutes every time he hits you. He will try to get off the stool over and over again but just keep putting him on it until he has sat there for the full 5 minutes... it will be tiring but it will work and dont give in otherwise he will never learn and think he can get away with everything. After he has been sitting on the stool say to him.. You sat on the naughty stool because you hit mommy and thats wrong... tell mommy youre sorry. Once he has said sorry give him a hug and let him play.

Answer 4

Hit him harder and take away privileges.

Answer 5

Sit him in time out, and, if he fights it, let him know it will only cause it to last longer.  If he still rebels, take away privileges (TV, outdoors, toys, etc.).  And, even though I know therapists will see red flags when I say this, I am not opposed to the use of a good old fashioned spanking (open handed, no other tools, only on a clothes covered buttocks and never slapping in the face, with three swats being the absolute maximum) when all else fails.

Answer 6

hit him back no seriously just kidding. call nanny 911. time out usually works.

Answer 7

Motivate him not to hit you by telling him he will get a reward if he doesn't hit you. It works very well!

Answer 8

time out. But I'm old school, I spanked my kids when they got outta line. Now they know better.

Answer 9

Time out will do the trick.

Answer 10

Show him that it hurts by crying or something I guess. If it doesn't work slam his hand or take TV or something away. Kinda like the good cop bad cop thing I guess

Answer 11

hit him back, but after that teach him what he did wrong and that he has to respect you at all times

spare the rod spoil the child

Answer 12

Spank his @ss!

Answer 13

Don't exactly hit him back more like give him a civilized spanking don't act like a baby like, ''you hit me, I hit you'' spank him but not too hard.Show him your the boss.I got thousands of spankings and I never hit my parents.If you don't get rid of the habit he'll  be hitting you for the rest of your life and you'll have a bad relationship.

Answer 14

Do not tolerate that behavior.  Grab him, send him to the corner or to his room immediately when he strikes you.  Explain to him that hitting is not acceptable.  Make him stay in his room for a little while.   Every time he strikes you or anyone else there should be immediate and unpleasant consequences.  EVERY TIME.  He need to know that there is punishment for bad behavior.  It is up to you to make sure he knows that.

Answer 15

This is totally unacceptable.  Definitely start with the time outs and see if that cures the problem....

Answer 16

time outs. dont hit him back. explain to him why you cant hit people- not just you.

Answer 17

Answer 18

Answer 19

sit him in a 'naughty chair'

(: ****  that straightened out the kids i watch.

Answer 20

A four year old (especially a boy)hitting a parent is normal. It shows that he is not happy with the authority. Therefore, retrace your steps. What did you do to make him unhappy? Could that possibly be undone? Four year olds do not hit for no reason. Punishing or reprimanding him will only make you his enemy, and he will be more likely to hit you. Be his friend, and he won't hit you. He'll learn sooner or later that it's not OK to hit. For now, though, try to find out what he wants, and when he gets what he wants he'll likely stop hitting you.

Answer 21

If you've been letting him hit you for a long time, YOU are just going to have to put your foot down and let him know that its not nice. (i.e. time outs, putting his toys up , or maybe even spankings).  

If it is a sudden onset... then there might be an outside source he is getting it from.   family members, daycare, tv.

Answer 22

Stop letting him!

  If he's hitting you because you spank/hit him, then tell him NO ONE is allowed to hit anymore. When he hits you after that, punish him in another way: time-out, no tv, no toys, etc.

Answer 23

Number one, figure out where he learned to hit.  Children learn what they see or what has been done to them.  Who has been hitting him?  Number two...don't hit him back.  Put him in time out and explain to thim that "We do not hit in this house" and when his time out is over (4 minutes) remind him that "We do not hit in this house"  You don't have to yell it to him you simply use a firm voice.

Answer 24

1. timeout

2. act sad and fake cry when he hits you until he says sorry

3. hit him back (softly) so he knows what it feels like

~hope this helps

Answer 25

hasn't anyone ever heard of spankings? Who is the adult and who is the child?

Answer 26

put him in time out then wen his times up explain to him what he did wrong and that u wnt accept that type of behavior! be firm witth him so he will no u mean business! take him to the doctor he could have a problem that could affect him in the future if hes hitting u at 4 imagine at 15 he will kill u

Answer 27

Hit him back.  Say, "This is what it feels like when you do this."

He'll get over it very quickly.  Also, you need to start reinforcing harsher punishments for out out-of-control behaviors.

Answer 28

Spank him.

"Spare the rod, spoil the child".

When you spank him, don't do it immediately. The second he hits you, explain to him that that behavior is not allowed. Then send him to his room and tell him that you will be in to punish him in a minute.

Wait about 10 minutes (so he can fret about everything). Then go in his room and explain to him again what is wrong about hitting you, or anyone else. Then, give him his spanking. Leave him in his room and come back when he has stopped crying. When he is finished crying, go back in his room and ask him if he understands the situation. Have him repeat back to you what you want him to gain from the punishment. Then, give him a hug, tell him you love him, and continue the day.

Answer 29

Beat his little butt and he will stop, if he doesn't then you are not doing it right. You can not let him hit you because he will never listen and might get himself into a world of trouble one day.

Answer 30

a simple time out  and then tell him why not to hit mommy and if he keeps doing it make him neel on rice or make him hold cans of soup for a long time and he won't do it anymore

Answer 31

Whos the boss him or you .If you allow him to treat you like that he will be the parent and you the child take control of the child and not allow him to do it .
