ok here it goes
My three yr old ds is a wee gem at times but usually he gets over excited and ends up hurting lil 10moth old ds. (somtimes deliberate) I have learnt to go with it and praise when he is being really nice. I get us all to join in on the floor playing with toys together and i do activities like painting,drawing and playdoe stuff. I talk with him in our own lil world of conversation along with cuddles and lots of love. However then comes back out the minx who throws objects at my head, never cares when i say no with warnings then follwed with a punishment like made to sit on the sofa for a few minutes or sent to his room.

The other day for example, we went out as a family to the sea side and went for a pub lunch, we let him go off to play in the childrens play thing only to be noted by a father who was very unhappy (understanbly) that our son was hitting his lil girl who was breaking her heart (a lil tiny pink thing about a year old i guse ) I had no idea how to deal with him nor did my husband, so we made him sit the other side of table and not to move away. The toy he won a machine we took away and we must have sat there for about 20min between the both of us telling him how bad that was and how dissapointed we were. was not till i had calmed down i realsied damn we sounded like a broken recored player! But it made no diference he still continuse to do this.
Not sure if its because he may ppic up on my nephews who are ages between 10 and 8 playing rough

Damn i dunno, i just have no clue and i hope for some guidence and oppinions on how to get through this challenge.

Many thanx in advance xxxx

It's just a phase honest! All you can do is reinforce..no. we don't hit, it hurts, and be consistent. sorry no real help i know, but you will be surprise how many people go through this....
