A member asked:

How do i teach my 1 year old not to hit and scratch me without spanking or popping her? spanking her will just confuse her.

Just say NO!: Actually, you have to combine an action with the saying. The thing a 1 year old hates more than anything is to be separated from you. So set her away from you in a safe place or her room, while with a stern voice telling her you do not accept hitting, scratching etc. Then walk away and isolate her - there is nothing they hate more. Repeat as needed until she learns hitting makes mommy go away!
