I have a dcg 23 months, who likes to hit and push. I put her in timeout but that doesn't seem to help. I spoke with her dad, he just said that she hits and pushes her cousin all the time and that it is just her age. They don't do anything about it. In fact he seems to think its funny.

All the kids in my care except my b&a school boy have hit and pushed here and there. it happens, but this girl does it 2 or 4 times a day.

I was just wondering if there is something I could do other then timeouts to help her learn that this is not ok?
She can speak but hardly does, is she too young to be saying sorry or should i have her sit in timeout until she does?
