And then demonstrate how to make funny faces and sounds or play a peekaboo game that gets baby gurgling.

If he hits you, repeat the family rule about no hitting; then say:

“You know, when someone hits me I really don’t want to play with that person for a while. Remember when you were playing with Timmy and he hit you and you didn’t like it? Well, I don’t like it either. Let’s have you calm down and then we can start fresh and play again.”

THE TOOLS: Use empathy: “It’s going to be hard for you when other kids want to use the kitchen.” Insist on certain behavior: “No hitting.” To help your child master his urge to hit and shove, give him a substitution—“Put your hands up,” or “Let’s make the baby laugh”—and words to use—“Stay away,” or “Ask me if you want to use the frying pan.” Tell him the impact of his behavior and give him a consequence: If he hits you, it makes you unhappy and in no mood to be particularly nice to him for a while. And as much as you can, be a play date supervisor to give him reminders and encouragement as he’s learning not to hit.
