Most parents cannot seem to understand why their child continues to hit others. Toddler hitting is the most common thing in young children, so parent must know that it is not just their child that does this. Toddlers are so young and they are very passionate about the things they have and the things they want, this is why they react so quickly. Since they can’t talk they have no way of asking for it which can be frustrating, it is also very hard to control these extreme feelings that they have. Toddlers really have no idea what it means to misbehave and when they hit others they don’t even understand the emotional aspect of it, so they don’t even know that they are causing pain. Sometimes toddler will hit just to get a response from that person, as parents we have to always let them know that hitting is not okay. But we don’t want to get angry with them because they are not intentionally being bad, as they get older will start to understand and will no longer use hitting as a way to vent.
