My ds has a bit of a hitting problem. It only happens when he is very tired or angry he tries hard to control it but it still happens. He says sorry right after and seems to feel bad so I don't know how to discipline him. Time out doesn't seem right because he is remorseful. I'm at a lost. [ Reply | Watch | Flag ]

verrrry normal, not really a "problem" as annoying as it is. sounds like you are handling it well, esp since he is trying to control it. you could phrase the time out as "take a time out to calm down" - that helps with my dd sometimes. [ Reply | More ]

I think a lot of kids do that. Don't worry, he'll grow out of it. I would just stay consistent in how you react and in the discipline even if you don't think it's working. [ Reply | More ]
