My son is only 4yrs and he loves to watch these violent cartoons, so much that he refuse to go to kindergarten. I have a maid since I work and when i come home from work my maid says that my son refuses to go to kindergarten. I tired to pull of the tv plug, but the maid said that he starting throwing tantrums and started kicking her and throwing things in the house. What shall I do ?

Violence breeds violence. I notice that too with my sons. Though not to that extreme. At that age they are pretty impressionable and it feeds on the mind of the young ones. Some of the cartoons are not cartoons, just becasue they are animated. Nowadays, cartoons are a disguised lot of craps. Evil and violent. Pray and talk to a pastor. It could be psychological or spiritual.

Spank his a$$!! Spare the rod, spoil the child. Everyone I know got spanked when they were little for throwing tantrums. It is a great motivator for him not to throw fits anymore. And he's only four years old?!? You had better get a handle on him before he gets big enough to get a handle on you. Also, he needs to learn to respect his elders (I'm no old lady either - I'm 24). What kind of kid thinks it's okay to say no to his caregiver? When I was small, I did not question what my mother or father told me. The line was clear - they were the adult, I was the child. Period. He minds what you and his caregiver tell him. You aren't his friend or buddy - he is the child. Make the line clear. He doesn't have a choice. And a tantrum over the TV? Please. The TV will be the least of his worries once he gets his butt busted a few times.
He seems to be establishing a pattern of violent behavior. Violent cartoons, hitting the maid... in all reality, if the patterns don't change, you may have a serious problem when he gets big enough to cause real damage. The violent cartoons definitely need to go. Kids will do exactly what they see. We weren't even allowed to watch TV when I was small - my mom kicked us outside and told us to get creative. Do yourself a favor and stop it before he gets too far gone to help. Right now he is so small that he probably won't even remember these things clearly when he grows up. (Can you remember when you were four?) I don't care what anyone says, there is absolutely no substitute for a good butt bustin'.

If it is already THAT bad, you need to see a child psychologist in order to repair the damage you have done to your son. And you should do it as soon as possible.
What on Earth did you think when you allowed a 4-year-old to watch violent cartoons? And especially unsupervised and without a parent present who could explain things and put them into the right perspective.
The problem you have is of your own making, and I hope you will repair the damage quickly. Otherwise you might have a child with a permanently damaged mental structure. No child of mine will be allowed to watch those violent cartoons, and mine are by now much older than 4!

For one...you need to be the one enforcing the rules...not your maid.
Second...take the TV out of the room.It's your house..he needs to know consequences to his actions...
and
Last...whoop his azz...you are the boss and obviously you haven't showed him this the whole time he has been alive....children need to be corrected but they also need a FULL TIME PARENT...not a half time parent.Giving your maid or nanny the duty of correcting your kid is making him this way...also the lack of attention and one on one time with your child.Yes it takes money to pay for the necessities,but money can't buy love.Your child should come first...not the TV being the child's babysitter.

It's not a good idea to let kids watch tv, they should be more active like palying, you should try to keep the kid away from the tv. They need to be playing more and getting invovled with activies. limit his tv time to 1 hr a day.

You are the boss. No tv. If your maid cannot obey you, fire your maid. Teach your son proper now. He will respect you later.

The child at this age behave in this fashion only.
Slowly and patiently try to wean him away and let him channelise her energy in some productive works or games.

Anyone who suggests beating a 4 year old kid is sick and a coward.
Take a head first dive off the nearest tall cliff please.
