I am so glad that you posted this, not gla...Kalani,<br />I am so glad that you posted this, not glad that you are going thru with the situation... after all I do have a 15-month old who is sometimes a little rough too. We belong to this playgroup that meets once a week. All of the kids are 24 months and younger, and Alex seems to be one of the few that has shown "rough edges". Needles to say, I have only been to the play dates only a few times. I feel bad that Alex pushes and shoves his way around other kids and does not really understand when I ask him to be gentle. So we are working on that. At home I noticed that he goes thru stages, a few days he's the most loving and caring boy, and some others he just wants his way and to show you that, he pushes or wants to bite... (now that is something that I can't tolerate). So we are working on it... At this age, it's hard to know if they really understand you or not!!!Noli & Jackiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00329361257291337881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8774294531226303349.post-90090973758033440072009-05-11T07:26:00.000-07:002009-05-11T07:26:00.000-07:00I think he gets his bullying from his mom.

I know that you will find the answers you need from all of the other mommies out there who have gone through similar problems! <br /><br />On a happy note: Go James on doing so well at swimming!Gina's Placehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00534853522065904269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8774294531226303349.post-14077719858351075992009-05-10T18:24:00.000-07:002009-05-10T18:24:00.000-07:00Kalani - James's behavior sounds sooo familiar. I...Kalani - James's behavior sounds sooo familiar. I've seen Hugh do it many times - with his little brother and his friends. I think it is "natural" little boy behavior, but it does get out of control quickly. I don't have a cure, but we do see improvement when we are completely consistent in punishing it with time out, redirection, or sometimes a swat. If Hugh does that sort of thing in public, I've found that he responds much better if I take him aside and scold him in private, rather than in front of his friends. If I embarrass him, he tends to lash out more. Hope some of that helps...good luck!Courtneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10087223122416380534noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8774294531226303349.post-70619154944192971612009-05-07T06:51:00.000-07:002009-05-07T06:51:00.000-07:00As you know I have two little boys, and I am still...As you know I have two little boys, and I am still trying to fix this with Alex, and he is almost 6! We use time out, and I also explain that if he was a bigger boy he could go to jail because he is committing a crime called assault and battery. The ex-public defender comes out in me...I don't think this makes a dent with Alex.Stacy Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16478915913653072680noreply@blogger.com
