Yet again I have picked up DS1 from preschool only to be called aside to be told he has been naughty once again. Today he has apparently been hitting other children apparently leaving a mark on on the head (DS told me he threw things out of a box and it hit them - preschool said hitting but both as bad). I seem to be collecting him constantly at the moment and being told they have had to tell him of for something. The problem is he doesn't seem to understand what he's done wrong and although he says sorry apparently it's very half-hearted.
He's 3.5 and this problem seems to have been going on for years. We have periods when it gets better then we have a period when it's really bad like now. I dread taking him to parks, soft play etc as I never know what he's going to do. I just feel like sitting down and crying (which in all honestly I've already done today).
We use time outs at home and make him say sorry (at home its normally his younger brother who he pushes etc) but I really need some other techniques to try and sort this out as I can't go on like this. I realy dont know whether I should be going to the GP and asking to be referred to someone - but who? Please help me help him!
