I have 3 dds aged 13, 11 and 7. Youngest has a bit of a temper and will lash out and hit or kick her older sisters if she hears something she doesn't like. They do tend to wind her up a bit, but probably just normal sibling stuff, but I really feel that by age 7 she should be in better control of her temper and I want a zero tolerance to any physical violence.
I'm feeling a bit of a crap parent at the moment because even though dh and I tell her off each time she does it, it seems to be a bit ineffectual and we want to put a firm boundary in place, i.e. NO hitting ever.
Dh and I think a one day ban of any screen based activity should be put in place for any physical violence (which applies to the older two as well if it should occur). Do you think this sounds ok? I'm a bit rubbish at deciding on sanctions as older two were generally very well behaved when they were younger and we didn't have to put anything in place. Dd3 however is much more challenging.
What about nasty comments? Sanctions for those (with a warning) or just a telling off?
