Ugh. I've got a 4 year old boy that just won't listen (Doesn't everyone?). He talks back, throws things, etc. Now he's added hitting. It has to stop now. nothing seems to work. We've tried time-outs. We take away his favorite toys for days at a time. Taking away TV doesn't phase him (maybe that's a good thing). I've looked at all the other answers to this question out there but, I'm looking for something unique. We've never hit him. I'm not sure it's come to that. Not that we're opposed to it. We always agreed that we would hit him in an instant for a safety issue. Like if he was running into the street or something. Thankfully, that's never happened. I'm not sure if we should lower our standard for the current behaivor. Also, what does hitting someone for hitting teach?
He currently takes karate. They teach him to never hit. We use telling his instructor as a threat. If he hits someone, they won't let him go to karate any more. He doesn't even WANT to go any more
