But it's come totally out of the blue? He doesn't seem unwell, his diet is the same and it's usually directed at DS1 (7)
When I try to stop him he makes his eyes wide and puts on a cute voice saying 'but I NEED to hit him' Very strange?? Please say it's a phase. I put him in his room as I don't smack.
Has anyone tried taking a toy away? Or threatening to? I remember a friend saying ages ago that this was all that worked with her son.
