DS will be 4 in December. I am at my wits end with him hitting out at me every time he gets angry, or I say no to him.
Have tried talking to him ' hitting makes mummy sad, it isn't nice' etc. I have tried putting him in a calm down space until he apologies. I now use time out which involves putting him in his room and shutting the door, leaving him for a few minutes until I return for a chat and an apology from him.
Nothing is working and I don't know what else to try. For information, I work 3 days a week, DS goes to nursery for 2 and spends the other day with my mum. He is an only child. I try to spend lots of time with him- we read stories, go on outings, build dens, I play with him, have play dates with friends, all the usual. I really do try and make sure he feels loved. What am I doing wrong?
