hi I have never posted before but would really appreciate it if anyone had advice as to how to handle this or could let me know if they have experienced anything similar.
My 3 year old son is a fairly loud, energetic, sociable 3 year old - has some sharing issues like most 3 year old have but on the whole plays well with others, with the exception of best friend!
He (and his friend) talks constantly about seeing him and yet when he does he won't share anything with him, screams if he touches any of his stuff, or stuff he wants to play with, and has now started hitting him. I know that his friend is exceptionally good at pushing his buttons but it is getting to the point where I think all parents are getting concerned that someone is going to get really hurt.
I have tried time out, sent to room and am currently going through zero tolerance of taking him home the minute he does it but wondered if anyone else has experienced their child having this issue with just one other friend? Is it that they need to spend less time together, they are very different characters. We are very good friends with the other parents and I feel this is starting to affect things a bit - don't want to bring my son to them if they are concerned about what might happen and I feel awful about it!
Hope this makes sense would really appreciate some words of wisdom
thanks!
