Hello,
Just looking for some advice on how to manage a boisterous little boy!
My DS is 2 (the younger of 2 siblings my DD is 5) but he is terrible for biting/smacking and hitting.
He's at nursery a couple of days a week and I haven't had any complaints, but I get such dread going on play dates just wondering what trouble he'll cause.
Whenever he hits/bites I get down to his eye level tell him no in a stern voice and let him see the consequences (usually an upset older sister). I've introduced time out so I take him out the situation, place him in timeout and once he comes out I'll make him say sorry (which he does). Everyone tells me "it's just a phase" and he's a typical boy, but my DD was never a "biter/hitter" and I feel like this phase is never ending.
Can anyone offer any advice?
Thank you.
