[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here: Thanks for these tips! The school actually asked us for input since what they're doing (telling him to stop, trying to teach empathy) apparently isn't working. I've almost never seen him try to hurt another kid, but when I have seen him get physical, I do use the Janet Lansbury approach, telling him I won't let him do that, modeling an apology, removing him gently from the situation. Should this just be continued until he's old enough for real discipline?[/quote]
Maybe you need to give the school permission to remove him from the situation?  Schools are hesitant to give time-outs, but it looks like talking to him is not working. I think if he is hurting other children he needs to take a break from other children for a few minutes.
At home, if he even remembers what happened, talk about better ways to resolve conflicts - teach him certain phrases if he is verbal enough. "You are too close to me," "please stop doing that" "I was playing with that toy" etc.[/quote]
