I am one of those parents who totally believes in spanks...maybe not that young but my 2 1/2 year old is totally a little gentlemen and not out of control. He gets all the warnings and things before spanking but when he was that young I would say something like `no, pinching isn`t nice. It hurts people.` and if he kept it up i would just smack his hand and tell him no. He doesn`t do it anymore. You just have to be presistant with it though dont let him get away with it even once.

I just say `Ow, careful...that hurts mommy!` or something to that effect. She doesn`t do it to be mean.

Wow. You should never pinch your baby! They don`t understand how their movements are equaling pain to you. They`re babes! Pinching back may make you feel better for a second: until they cry! You`re not a kid, and that`s not your little sister; it`s your baby! My guy does pinch the back of my arms. I lock eyes with him, say `No. You be nice to Mommy. That hurts me.` I then set him down (not abruptly, but curtly) and walk away for a minute. It cools me down and (hopefully) teaches him the consequence to an action. I did this also when he nipped me while nursing: worked 100%. He only did it once. He went through a pinch-intense weekend two weeks ago and now it has greatly subsided (though not ceased altogether!).

My brothers used to do this when they were little, if you pinch them back, they won`t do it again because it allows them to feel that it hurts. Same thing with biting, it worked right away with them! they were 13 months apart so they went through the same stuff together. Worked like a charm with my mom. Good Luck!

I heard pinch them back so they can see how it feels, but I would never do that myself. I would show them it hurts with ouch and redirect them so they see you dont like it and then take them away from doing it.

I usually say no and if she keeps trying it move/hold her hand and repeat no.

When my son was that age he always pinched my fat on the back of my arms when I held him. It hurt like hell but I just redirected saying no at the same time him and eventually he stopped.

ignore!!! my daughter was bad for pinching,scratching,biting and hitting. I found saying no, doing it back or giving her time out, made her more determined to do it. I found in the the end if she did it, i did not make a sound no matter how much it hurt, i just pretended it did not phase me, and once she realised it got no reaction, she just stopped one day.
