You'll have to find something other than spanking to discipline, it would seem your child is learning by example! Personally, I'd do one of two things. First, I would ignore it. This is probably the best method for anything undesirable that a 2 year old does. If this didn't work, as soon as the child had spanked someone, I'd pick them up, say "no spanking" or "no hitting" and promptly place them in an empty playpen for a good long while, longer with each infraction. Ignore the kiddo while they are in time out, make sure they are safe but otherwise do not talk to them further about the hitting or anything else. Two year olds thrive on attention and the best way to get them to stop something is to simply show them that it takes away from their favorite thing: your reaction, whether good or bad.

Where did he learn to spank? I would totally go after anyone I found spanking my child. That is a completely backwards way to discipline.

Before any discipline, I would try to find out WHY they are spanking other people!, (Its is a learned behaviour, not a natural one, unless you're actually talking about hitting-out at others), and then address the issue from there. My goal would be to stop the spanking, which may or may not involve direct discipline.

Seriously, perhaps I'm not understanding the question, but your 2 year old is spanking people? The kid needs to learn that violence is not a good solution.

Spanking is something learned. Find the source. Correct it and then teach your child that spanking isn't an option. I believe that redirecting your child from the situation is a start. Rather than ignoring the situation. If things do not improve. Pick up your child and place her in a time out. Such as an empty play pen or crib. Every child and parent is different. Find what works for the both of you. Most important be concistant. Good Luck!

Where did they learn to spank? Teach them the reason for spanking and that only grown-ups can spank... i personallly find it a little humorous but if its that big of a problem... i think it is important to find out why he/she is spanking people because apparently they are doing something he/she doesnt fell is right and as a parent that would be a oncern for me... then i would teach them alternatives to solving their problems .

When my son does this I stop him and tell him "No". I also tell him everytime he hits/spanks he will be spanked and removed to somewhere else for each time. I usally only have to swat his rump once and he stops. I do this so he knows that if you hit in the real world someone's going to hit you back.
