I absolutely agree! I'll look up those books. His dad has talked to him, but I tend to be the daily disciplinarian around here. I had a long talk with his preschool teacher, and she said they have a lot of similar issues with kids at the…

5-year-old hitting at school-help!

Hi! My 5 year old just started going to our local Catholic preschool. He has been hitting his classmates, and when the teachers ask him why, he says "Because I want to" (!). He does get time outs for this behavior at school, but it hasn't worked so far.We are pulling our hair out trying to get him to stop. We have tried talking to him at home, time outs at home, loss of privileges, but it doesn't stop the behavior at school. He doesn't do these things at home, but he is essentially an only…See More
