How Do I Get My Son To Stop Hitting, Kicking, Biting & Head-butting

Honestly..when he hits you or anyone else...tell him "NO, that's not nice!" If he continues to do it....spank him. I did not say beat him, or a abuse him or put marks on him! He is YOUR child...you have the right to spank him. It's written in the Bible...Your child will learn to respect you and do what you say. Either slap his hand or on the bottom. I would say that only you and his father should do this...he will soon learn to listen to his mom and dad. My nephew who is just over a yr and a half went through a biting stage...well he got over very quickly when my sister, his mother bit him back! Again, she did not leave a mark or keep on hurting him. It made him mad more than anything...and he realized it hurts people and its not nice to hurt. This is just my opinion. There is NO WAY my husband or I will ever allow our children to hit or bite us. Well, I realize  that it will happen...I just mean, we wont be the type of parents who allows our child to throw fits and hit and yell at us while pinching and biting....I don't care where we are he will get a spanking. If they cant listen as infants...what makes you think he will listen at 16, 17, 18?? By then, he will most likely be bigger than you! Don't ever be afraid of your child..take control!

Sounds like mommy and daddy have given in to his every whim in order to "keep the peace."  Everyone wants their child to be happy, but children are blank slates and I don't believe in a "bad child."  I do, however, believe that some parents need to be taught "How To Be Parents."

If there is discord in the home, children pick up on those things and act out.  He needs disciplined time-outs.  He is almost 2 and is not potty trained, is having temper tantrums and is getting away with it, leaving you frustrated and frazzled.

He doesn't feel the pain he's inflicting, so he doesn't think nothing's wrong with his behavior.  Without resulting to physical punishment, stand your ground and give him time-outs:

1.   Tell him directly and firmly to stop; and
2.  Stand him in a corner for 1 minutes; or
3.   Make him sit in a lone chair placed in the corner every time he acts up for 1 minute

Add more time until he gets it.  Be consistent with him and when he starts to behave properly, give him a big hug and kiss and tell him how proud you are of him.

Don't forget to spend quality time doing outdoor fun things together.

Wow!
I love it how people always automatically assume that the parent gives in and this is why these kids are like that. And that spanking them will turn them around.
My son is 8 now. I never give in. I had spanked him or slabbed  his hand. Took his toys, etc.
Every day he is beaten on me. He hits, kicks, bites, pinches, curses, throws things at me, etc. He was in mental hospital twice within 3 month. And get immune against medication within 2 weeks.
The doctor dont know more what to do.
So please dont always assume that is is controllable and the parent should do a better job. Sometimes it is just not possible. Sometimes it will just take time til they change

My Dad would have rubbed my bare bottom with sandpaper-and i wouldn't have done it again i can tell you!

Sounds like it is time for some parent counseling by someone older and wiser than you .like a couple that mentors younger couples in how to handle unruly children and stop their bad habits form becoming a major problem down the road. I suggest a church group that has a parent mentoring program in place for just these reasons.
