Does any one have a 3 1/2 old who is very aggressive. I also have a two year old, any suggestions?

Answer 1

when my first son was 3
every time I toke him to the park he would push the other kids
At first I thought eventually he will push the wrong kid and feel that
it is not nice. It did not happen he even made 6 year olds cry.
Then I got told to try some child care so he could learn how to make friends. That worked a treat!
your problem might be different but maby this will make you feel better

Answer 2

Diet. Check what they are eating. Aggressiveness can be caused from a food allergy or lack of certain vitamins and nutrients. Also, look at environmental factors. Is anyone smoking around the children or do you live near pollution of any type? This can affect behaviour. Lastly, are both parents home. Adverse behaviour can be seen when Dad is working long hours and mum is stressed. Sensitive kids feel the strain even if you try to hide it and it will show outwardly as negative emotions like this.

Try to include him/her in your activities such as cleaning, cooking etc with little easy jobs. He or she wants to feel important and included. This might help him or her feel like they are "big person" and not a baby. It might encourage more favourable behaviour.

Answer 3

To be honest, don't let them get away with anything. Be stern (not violent).

You know what? Just do what you think is right. Would you honestly trust your child's wellbeing and growth to a bunch of strangers? You have to be able to decide for yourself what is the right thing to do. Just be confident that you are doing what's right now (they'll hate same thing for them later, it doesn't get better til they leave really).

Answer 4
