DS is 3 years 8 months.
He is not a naughty boy per se, but he does lack impulse control at times.
A few weeks ago, he bit another boy at nursery. This was the first 'incident' of that sort for six months or so - so he is by no means a serial offender.
Apparently, he got very upset over it - he knew immediately that what he'd done was wrong and hid in the book corner, and wouldn't stop crying for half an hour.
He also occasionally lashes out at home (at me and my husband). Again, he seems to know that he has done wrong because he gets very upset when we tell him off, but this doesn't stop him from doing it in the first place.
Our sanctions are usually taking TV privileges away (but we could be more persistent with this).
Any ideas? Again, he is usually a good boy, just occasionally he forgets his manners :-)!
