Zebra   10 #2 Posted January 1, 2010 I wish I had answers for you but I don't. All I can say is that all kids go through phases and as a friend of mine always says whilst teeth are gritted and counting to ten 'this too will pass'. It sounds like you're doing all the right things to teach him this is undesirable behaviour, so that's great but with his age it's difficult to do anything else to make it clear. So, hang on in there, it will pass. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

andre6cam   10 #7 Posted January 1, 2010 i think your wrong.its not about being assertive its finding something what a child can relate to.hes still a baby and testing water.saying what you have can make this lady feelmore isolated than she does.every child is different and you have to try and try to find right thing to do.i ve already privately pm d this lady and hopefully this will help with her situation.i am a mum of 4 and a nan of 2.i also work with teens in care so i ve just past on what i know and i ve done in my private life with my family.good luck silverlady Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Aries22 Â Â 10 #10 Posted January 3, 2010 I think it is a loving jesture from your child, they just don't know how to achieve this, so a smack in the face seems the easiest to them, when they do that give them a hug back to show them how to do it.
