My baby can defend his self.

Sorry but I think you are wrong. A child should never be hitting their parents at any age. The first time they hit you, you need to tell them you don't hit mommy or daddy. He is hitting you with the remote and you are ok with it; he will think he can hit you with anything at anytime. Then if this pattern continues when he is a teenager look out for what he will do to you then. You need to nip it in the bud now before its too late. My daughter has two girls and the little one is only 1 and she has hit my daughter but she tells her "don't hit mommy" or "spot hitting mommy" they have to learn that its not right to hit their parents. You don't want the child to defend himself againist you guys only to people who are trying to hurt him.

You know my baby and your baby is the same he also turning two, and when I am mad at him he will hit me. I don't know why he became like that, when he did something wrong I will tell him in a nice way.

Well, as children get older, they want to be independent and don't want anyone ever helping them out and doing things for them. They want to do it themselves. If he keeps this attitude as he gets older and you continue to want to encourage him to keep on doing this, than things will be good.

Well, today more than ever, know how to defend yourself is more than a necessity (unfortunately). The fact that your two year old son earns respect, it is a good thing for his future. For example, I have a personality completely non-existent and as a result I am not able to defend myself. it is not good especially at my age of nearly 38 years! Keep in mind, however, that is not always necessary to resort to the use of hands to defend themselves. Sometimes it is necessary to have a lot of personality.

I think we all should learn to defend ourselves as the world we live in is a dangerous place,but true and good defence doesn't mean attacking when not getting your own way,and maybe two is to young to be learning defence,certainly aggression.

I don't feel hitting you is something to encourage BUT the fact he knows how to defend himself is a good thing. This is something he'll need to know throughout life and so knowing the earlier the better. He needs to learn when it's okay to be defensive and when it isn't. Just don't let him think its okay to hit you.

That is not self defense. That is a child having a fit because he isn't getting his way. If you don't correct this behavior soon then he will think its okay to hit you even when he's bigger.

Yes it's all right many kids behave that way.They just do it cuz they want it and if they don't get it they fight for it at any cost.For the same reason they even bite their Mommies and Daddies,and sometimes they bite other children.

Some good things i can see in your child , his brain is developing a critical thinking and this is good but negative point is he knows now how to inflict pain , his intention is good but dangerous he might think it is good and he will be used to it . Try to stop this kind of behavior slowly until the child will understand .

As far as thing you mentioned above is concened, I think if I were you,I would punished him and tell him the negtive effact incurred. But if he just wanted to show the his love or arouse your attention by bitting you, you are supposed to show your tender emotions to your son.

Your son is healthy and behaving normally like any other 2 year old kid who likes to reach whatever thing he sees interesting. That is good. He doesn't understand that reaching a remote control to hit you is not a good thing to do. You had better let him know by tapping his hand and saying "hitting is not good.". This way he will learn and not repeat it again in the future.

yes it is right because if we give every thing to our kid easily he become lazy so make the child brave and strong to make up his mind to do work independtly and perfectionaly

Hi yengnimcdo! I am a mother of a 2-year-old too, a daughter. I believe of letting babies discover on their own, do things on their. It's a good way to develop independence and self-reliance. However, hitting or hurting others can be bad. Well it is good when its a "bad hug", like from a stranger. But the consequence might be, he'll do it to other people, too. For example, someone hugged him so hard because he's so adorable, he might the person too and that person might drop your son unknowingly because they got hurt. Perhaps you can try to talk or use hand signals to say "no"? I'm doing it to my daughter and she's quite responding positively. I'm trying that just a couple of weeks now. Good luck! ;)

you should not look down upon little babies.they may be not as mature as adults, but they are really conscious of some basic actions.for example,they want to be embraced by some familiar persons,they will cry to reject strangers.they like yellow toys and will push away when you give them other colors.that is not my imagination,cos my sister's baby just is what i said.let your baby express himself to the fullest,that's the first step to show his smart.

Hi yengnimcdo, I agree with the others that hitting a parent is not defending himself. Instinctively he is doing this to get his way. He may not know that he's wrong. I think you should teach him the correct behavior otherwise he might get into deep trouble when he grows up. Have a good day.

Despite what you think, this can actually turn out to be quite harmful for him. He should never learn that he is able to hit his parents. You shouldn't allow him to do so. Also, this is not as ingenious as you think, as many babies do the same thing; they hit to get what they want. They probably see it in their siblings, and copy that. I would advise you to keep this baby very strictly in hand if you want him to grow up being submissive, obeying you.
