He's a bit young for explanations or 5min naughty step stuff. Take both hands, pull them down gently and say very firmly but simply NO! No smiling or interaction just repeat every time happens.

Every time he does it, instead of tapping him back, why doesn't she just pick him up, put him in his bedroom and leave him there for 5 minutes. Surely by hitting him back (albeit probably just a light tap) it is telling him it is OK to hit people.

My grandson is not yet 2 years old yet he will hit his mummy around the face. He doesn't do this with any one else. He won't kiss her or hug her goodnight or when she leaves for work. But at other times he hugs and kisses her and they play together and you can tell how much they love each other. He's been doing this for a while and I'm a bit concerned about the smacking. She taps him back and tells him it's naughty to do this but he still does it. Has any one experienced this and if so how do we deal with it.
