trade yo baby fo an ipod

slap them back. not hard enough to hurt them, just so that they realize that you're not playing and that you don't like it

Please do not slap your baby back! When he/she hits you, you say "NO!" or "NO HIT!" and put them down and turn your back momentarily. Then you pick the baby up and say, "i will not hold (or play with) you if you hit." Later when you hold them and they are NOT hitting you, you give lots of attention and affection. This is behavior modification and if you keep with it, it works. Hitting a child teaches them that when we are angry or annoyed, we hit. It teaches just the opposite of what you're wanting to teach.

That is the biggest load of garbage I've ever read. You need to establish your strength and superiority over them. Stand them up on the counter so they are eye level with you, and bare-knuckle box with them. Let them have a few good shots, so they think they're doing well, then KAPOW! Deliver a quick 3 punch combo that sends them wheeling off the counter, ass over tea kettle onto the floor. This next part is important... Make sure you're standing right over them when they open their eyes. So the first thing they see is you, and realize that YOU can kick their ass. Feel free to flex at this time, and say things like 'YOU GOT KNOCKED THE FUCK OUT!' - Guaranteed to work every time.
