A friend has a DS who is 2.10 and they are part of a group of us who meet weekly as we all have DCsof similar ages.
Her DS hits the others and sometimes pushes with such force that his target falls over. She always puts him onto the naughty step for 2 mins, often having to sit with him to make sure he stays put. He usually comes back only to hit again. She then either tries the naughty step again or sits down with him to read a book or something which will keep him away from the others.
She is clearly at the end of her tether and asked if anyone had any suggestions for how to handle it better as he keeps doing it despite her punishments.
Can anyone help? I'm not in the habit of giving out parenting advice to other mothers, butility she has asked....and i really like her and don't want to stop seeing her.
