[quote=Anonymous]I don’t think it’s ever *okay* to yell at kids, but everybody mistakes and shaming yourself for it does no good. And really, OP, you’re doing better than the vast majority of parents who think yelling is actually going to accomplish something good in the long run with a 3.5 year old. Remember that the brain of a kid that small is not at all developed. They might not yet understand cause and effect. He isn’t being a jerk by putting sand on another kid’s head, he’s learning. Obviously be very clear that using sand in a way that bothers other people isn’t acceptable; tell him what’s okay to do with sand and what isn’t, and maybe leave the park. You can just use a straightforward tone; you don’t have to say “um hey we don’t dump sand on others kids’ heads, sweetie” in some soft voice. [/quote]
