How do I get my 3yr old little Boy to stop Hitting?

By April_78 1 year 13 weeks ago | 1 Answer

My 3yr old boy is hitting me and I don't know what to do to make him stop. I have tried time-out, sending him to his room, taking away a toy if he hits me with one, and I have even, regrettably, tried popping his hands. None of these things work. I did not like popping his hands at all and I do NOT want to spank him. I don't know what else to do. Please help!!

Every time my son gets angry or doesn't get what he wants he hits and smacks me.  Tonight he actually grabbed a brush and hit me in the back with it because he didn't want to take a bath.  I don't know what to do anymore with him.  I have tried timeout, sending him to his room, spanking, and even creating a box out of gates so he can't escape timeout.  Nothing is working.  I have been taking
