[quote=MommaRN][quote=Anonymous]What are the consequences for his violence? It sounds as if he got rewarded for his violence by getting a car ride. I know you don't mean it that way, but he likely sees it that way. What do you do when he throws a tantrum? I'd start first by putting him in his room like you said. Tell him he's not allowed to hit or hurt, and if he does, then he gets consequences of "X." Let him know what it will be. If he starts acting badly, remind him of the consequence. I like 1, 2, 3 Magic. If I get to three, you get consequences. And impose them. Consistently. Pick something that bugs him. Time out in his room with no one there. Time out in the kitchen. Loss of a toy the next day. Loss of TV. The other thing I'd consider is whether he's getting his four year molars? He might be in low-grade pain and it's enough to impact behavior. Or other illness, like ear infection. And one more thing, what kind of TV does he watch, if any? Is he seeing anything violent, including cartoons? Scooby Doo would rile up my son at 4. Four year old molars? LOL, which are these? The second primary molars erupt at about 2 years (average) and then no more until roughly 6 years old. Ask your dentist [/quote][/quote]
