he seems to have gotten very aggressive in the last few months. i dont know where he is picking this stuff up, he doesnt watch that much tv and goes to a church based preschool that im sure doesnt condone or encourage this behavior... any suggestions to get him to settle down.

I have a 4-year old son (& 3 girls) who still wants to wrestle & fight. . I've been told it's a "boy" thing. I'm thinking it'll pass eventually but learned to accept it as long as it doesn't get out of hand. He's learning where & when it's ok.

we have never condoned wrestling, fighting or any other overly rambunctious behavior- including tickling- in the house. This goes back generations to my grandmother, mother (who is 90), myself and my brother, my 3 daughters and now my 3 grandchildren. Sometimes a kid's personality is such that they need a lot of reminders at this age that we do not play like that indoors. If they want to play rough, they may go outside to the yard. All in all, all our homes are pretty peaceful! Now, I'm a nanny to 2 children who's parents think it's ok to wrestle, tickle and roughhouse indoors and the kids take full advantage of that- but only when the parents are home. They know better than to do that when I'm there!!! Are you sure that you haven't, in some way, made it OK to "wrestle" during playtime? Young kids will usually try to see just how far you'll let them go with a behavior that you have allowed up to a certain point. Good luck to you!

I am going through the same thing with my 3 year old daughter...they are still too young to know how to play, its just a phase. My mom told me that my sister and I and my 2 brothers went through it...
by any chance...do you have a younger one at home? I have an 8 month old son and was wondering if that may contribute to the aggression...

my son has gotten the same way. and our daycare doesn't promote that behavior, but with a ratio of 25 to 2 teachers, they really can't control what they pick up from the other kids.
i just call him over and tell him to calm down. handle things more softly.... we use a lot of time out.. it helps.

Just talk to him, sit down with him, and explain that it "hurts mommy when you do that". My son is rough all the time, and he's 3 also. I have spina bifida, so anything he does hurts more to me than it would someone else. It is definately a phase.

you should lock him in a room full of unbreakable stuff and you should give him a little spanking in if he still fight and break thing you should spank him by the bare bottom

Dont let him see that crap or do it with others. He's getting it from seeing it.
