My 3 year old is regularly violent towards other children. Mainly hitting.
This happens in social situations with kids of the same age and is happening regularly at pre-school where it has got to the stage he must have a teacher with him at all times. It has been reported to me that this happens when he loses interest or becomes distracted in what he is doing.
This problem began when his sibling appeared 6 months ago which unfortunately coincided with him beginning pre-school.
I am a nervous wreck in social circumstances particulary with unsympathetic parents and I feel like the naughty schoolgirl when the teacher reports his behavior to me!
Any advice would be gratefully received. Should I look at his diet for example - clutching at straws now!!!
