[quote=Anonymous]I seem to recall this coming up at PEP when I took the class a few years ago. Obviously, while the LC/NC for hitting would be hitting back, that's not really what you want. If this has happened now twice, I would talk to your son and make clear that you believe it is unacceptable, and I'm sure he'll agree it's wrong. Then you can agree on a reasonable consequence (suggest a choice of two things that would be "painful" to him -- like giving up cherished computer time, or having to do an extra chore, or whatever). In this case you've made the point (hitting is unacceptable), gotten his buy-in, and given him input into the decision making for what the consequence should be in that case. Personally, my kids seem to respond to my limit setting for totally unacceptable, over the line things like that (like a punishment of my choice), because for them that's like a cry for limits. But that's just my kids. Good luck! It's probably just a phase.[/quote]
