[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I hope you ignore 90% of what people are suggesting. 1) check on and care for the injured child 2) remove the toy temporarily 3) tell 3 “Ouch. 5 is hurt. I can’t let you hurt your brother. Let’s find something safer to do.” Repeat, repeat, repeat. Janet Lansbury has lots of good advice about these kids of situations. I’ve worked with 3-year-olds for 21 years, had my own kid who went through preschool, and never once have I seen a 3 be intentionally hurtful in a way that couldn’t be rectified by the above approach. [/quote] This plus close supervision when they are together with dangerous items removed. Separate them when possible. A lot of people here are just displaying poor and outdated understanding of why kids act out. Do not assume they can control it or that they enjoy acting out. Those are really toxic assumptions which will perpetuate a bad cycle. And for the love of god don’t hit your kids. Learn better and do better.[/quote]
