[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm not fond of any of these ideas although I get the necessity to stop the action and believe a firmer approach is needed.  If my child hit (which he did) I recommended or did things like say he couldn't have so and so over until he showed me that he could get along at school for x number of days, would not be able to play with the blocks in the afternoon because he didn't share them that morning or the day before and hit someone, asked teachers prior to free play to have my son tell them the rules of the playground, etc.  I also got him some outside help and read lots of friendship, sharing, no hitting books with him at home.[/quote]

OP again. I've tried all of that for almost 2 months now, to no avail.    That's the problem.   We've role played, I've taught him phrases to use to express his emotions and we've gone over those a million times.  I've shown him several examples of my being angry and how I deal with it.  We've got most of the "Learning to Get Along" series of books (which he actually enjoys reading).  I've taken stuff away, including toys and privileges, for fairly lengthy periods of time.   I've praised him for having his rare good days.   It just seemed that anything I did at home was too far removed time-wise from the incident at school to have much impact.  Which is why I've been focusing on what to do at daycare.

He seems to have some impulse control problems, so that may be why the consquences at home don't work very well to help him learn some self-control at school.

In any event, he's been good two days in a row.   So I'm feeling a bit more hopeful.  [/quote]
