I consider myself a great mother; except i am at my wits end in the repremanding department, ive cleared his toys, taken away sweets, done time outs nothing worked! Then my friend made a point, I say this because my child was the bully to other kids, kids learn from one another more then us. I know that it's not conducive to progress coming from a parent but for my 3 year old who somedays is SO TERRIBLE and tends to attempt to bully ME I made him aware that if he try's to hit or kick kids in school that he
will probably get hit back and realize it isn't acceptable behavior as well as have no
friends. Well during a school meet & greet my bully bull headed 3 year old found the school bully and started playing, this boy reached over and punched him in the arm, where my son punched him back, the other childs mother & I let it go on for a minute watching and after a few good body punches in on eachother they looked at eachother and realized it was absolutely redundant as well as hurt. They made up, continued to play trucks with one another as well as socialized with the other kids without an issue. As a parent you want to protect you're child as well as show them their actions are not always wise; no matter what I tried my son did not learn until he got punched back by a peer. Boys will be boys; I've never hit my child or Hurt him, he has not once witnessed physical violence it seemed it was a stage which from talking to other moms is more common then not, you're kiddo may go through it also. I hope it all works out.
