Discoveries-

18 months
Socialization
My grandson has discovered that he can use his hands to hit. He loves playing his drums and now he is hitting everything including us. Now is the time to let him understsnd that his hands are not for hitting because when you hit it hurts. He is not yet talking so he hit you to get his attention. Since he is not talking as yet this is a stage that he is going through. Each time that he hits to get our attention  we remind him that hitting is not  nice. Once he begins to talk we will continue to explaine to him that he should use his words to express his needs. " we may say please tell me or point to what you want". This ia a process that your  toddler /toddler goes through and you must guide him/her to  acceptable behavior. It takes time and reputation for a baby to learn a skill . You must have patience.
