[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Flame away, but I would take him inside, give a brief but stern reprimanded and explanation of the consequences, and I would turn him over my knee and spank him. I have done this, and when used dispassionately, it is extremely effective.[/quote]

Right.... "Honey, hitting your brother is wrong. Let me teach you this lesson by hitting you". A very good way to create resentment and shame in your child. I guarantee you are only teaching your child to be vilolent behind your back.

Punishing an impulse behavior will not fix the problem.

OP, it sounds like you are handling this very well. You understand what the bigger issue is (your son is frustrated, and like all 3 year olds, impulse), so keep working on that.

DP, meh. It does work. Because the 3 year old DOES have control (unless there are SN). Also, obviously a dispassionate spank by a parent as a consequence is different and kids aren’t morons, they know it is different. Just as it is different for the state to lock you up versus your next door neighbor to lock you up. [/quote]

I feel bad for your children.[/quote]
