That's when the hitting was at its worst with my boy (he's 6 now), and now that his sister is 3, she's doing it too. <br /><br />I love it that Aleph seems to be trying to figure out how to channel that energy on his own. ("What CAN I hit?") How about this 2-by-4, Young Grasshopper?<br /><br />:)Tinenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30154892.post-36053298989366190142009-08-04T13:27:20.328-05:002009-08-04T13:27:20.328-05:00Oh no, I'm completely serious.

He knew it was wrong/hurtful/etc., and he never really hit people in anger or frustration. He used it to test his limits; just couldn't seem to stop himself.<br /><br />Anyway...last spring he started Tae Kwon Do. *Excellent* outlet for his energy. He hasn't smacked his sister (or anyone else, for that matter) once since.Tinenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30154892.post-91406325858520043192009-08-04T09:13:51.722-05:002009-08-04T09:13:51.722-05:00That would be a pretend punching bag, right?That would be a pretend punching bag, right?projgenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02875981323927217940noreply@blogger.com
