[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If it were my kid, I'd ask the teachers to be diligent with time outs immediately upon any aggression and I'd give them catch blanche to remove any privileges they think are appropriate - like sitting out of circle time. I'd also want to know sooner rather than later, so I'd ask that I get a call if there's more than one incident in a given day.

If it's just typical three year old behavior, then your kid will give it up the pushing behavior quickly as long as discipline is consistent and he's getting what he needs in terms of sleep, food, and attention/affection. If it doesn't improve despite those things, then I'd revisit the issue and consider something more serious may be going on. Probably not, based on what you shared, so just take the next two weeks to work on turning this around. [/quote]

Thank you, very good advice.

To the group -- I find the only way I can enforce a time out at home is to put him in his room and stand there holding the bedroom door closed for a bit. If I put him against a wall or corner or on a small area rug, he just leaves that spot. I can stand there and try to block him from leaving, but end up holding him still there, which seems to be ineffective and apparently may be contributing to this issue he's having at school.

Do you think time out in his room is okay (there are things to play with in there, and he never seems to take the time out seriously - smiling and laughing that he's out instead of being more aware that he's done something wrong to earn a time out), or is there a better way to force time outs elsewhere in the house that I don't know?[/quote]
