[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When he does these things, hurting the baby, the tantrums, how do you respond?[/quote]

OP here- not very well.  I will ignore regular tantrums but when he gets physical, end up picking him up and shutting him in his room.  Same with hitting younger sibling- will ask him to stop but when he doesn’t, I have to drag him to his room for a timeout.

And as bad as he can be with me, he’s even worse with DH.  I think it may partly be because DH has a lower tolerance for any unruly behavior.  DS gets rather keyed up when tired at the end of the day. Was bouncing around yesterday evening as I was getting dinner on the table. DH’s instructions to “stop jumping” and “calm down” quickly escalated into yelling, tears, and DS socking DH in the mouth.[/quote]

If he had ADHD, you would see behaviors at school. Before getting a full psych evaluation, I would work on some structure and discipline measures at home. Create a behavior chart with a rewards system. Since he is melting down at the end of the day, maybe he needs to go to bed earlier. Look at all this sort of stuff, bedtime, diet, etc. [/quote]
