Personal social and emotional developmentfor 3 year old

[Worriedmum07]

My son is 4 years old. He is on my plan at his nursery however in the recent month his behaviour seems to be escalating at the nursery .As per to their notes he is hitting and kicking other children unprovoked, not wanting to share and if he wants something he can’t wait. I wouldn’t say he is spoiled as we do discipline him when he not behaving. I am unsure what is triggering these behaviour. When he is tired we get the usual ,tantrums and all .

I am bit worried in terms of managing him . He is a sweet little boy and had no issues hitting his milestones. Nursery are trying to help but I worried about how to cope and if I am doing anything not right.

I was hoping to get some ideas here.

Thanks

Might he perhaps be worried that you don’t seem sure how old he is?

(Peoples’ responses might be different according to whether he is actually just 3 or 4 years and 11 months …)

we do discipline him when he not behaving How?

What is home like? What changes has he experienced recently? What worries are there in the family?

(and yes, is he three, or four??)

He is 3years 10 months old nearly 4 .

He is 3years 10 month old , nearly 4.

We talk to him and send him for thinking time or clam area we call it ..We moved to his new area recently its ben about 7 months now , which means new settings for him and new place . He recently lost grandad as well . There arent any worries but we have joint familt so it can be chaotic sometimes. He has an older sister who is 11 and sometimes it feels like he is picking things from her ?

Does he get lots of exercise and outdoor play? Does he have any screen time?

Those are 2 huges changes in his life, no wonder he's acting out.

Perhaps take your child into.more social situations, perhaps join some groups where he can gain more experience from mixing with other children, he will hit someone one day and they will hit him back and he will soon get he message.

He has about an hour screen time. We do encourgae outdoor play which he loves.

:)

Thats what we were thinking . I guess now we have to think on how to improve his behaviours .

He’s had a lot of changes. So that’s probably why.

Kids can struggle with long explanations especially if they’re upset at the time. Calm time is also really vague, and doesn’t sound like a punishment- it sounds like when they drop the nap and in place of it you do quiet activities after lunch. Have you tried a very sharp ‘no hitting, hitting hurts’ and then walking away and giving the negative behaviour no attention? And lots of praise when he is playing nicely, sharing and being gentle?

We do explain that hitting hurts and would you like if someone will hurt you , he goes no. .
Thank you for your suggestion I might try that . Thank You .
