help! my son is a bully
-
My ds is 13 months old, and has recently became a bully! He hits (more of a slap) me, and at times throws hard toys on me. I tell him no. what more can I do to teach him that its wrong?

He is only 13 moths old. I wouldn't conceder this a bully mentality just yet. Most kids who can't communicate really well (talk) do other things to get your attention. My son is 14 months and has hit me before. I just sit him down and look him in the eye, and tell him no hitting isn't nice, and that it hurt mommy. And just repeat it if he does it again. Kids throw tantrums, my sons are notorious. I like to practice what I call the 3 P's of parenting. Persistence, patience, and perseverance. You may also want to talk to his Pediatrician maybe they can recommend some techniques. Most importantly breath, keep you chin up.

I agree with @Ascherrah. I don't think he's old enough yet to really be a bully. He just doesn't really know how to express himself yet. It's frustrating for the little ones who know what they want, but can't really convey it yet. Just keep telling him no and explaining that it hurts when he does that.

I guess bully isn't the right word but I didn't know what else to call it lol.
He's mostly a sweetie and not really that fussy so I should count my blessings that this is probably the worst of it. Glad to know it's just a phase. He seems to feel bad if I say ow because he puts his head down on me like he's trying to say sorry. I just need to watch out for those painful toys lol. I have a small bruise above my eye lol. -
At 13 months that is normal. He wants something but doesn't have the words to express it. I would hold his hands and say we don't hit. I only slapped my kids hands if they were going for something dangerous or harmful like the outlet. As for throwing toys, I would take the toy away and say we don't throw toys. My ds is 4 and still throws toys. He loses them, he knows it, it still happens on a daily basis.
