[quote=Anonymous]Have you considered trying some therapy for him? He may be willing to talk to a therapist about what he's feeling when he is hitting, does it make him feel better? And perhaps they could work on other coping mechanisms. I also would reflect for yourself a bit on why it makes you so angry-as opposed to concern? Of course you wish he would not be doing this, but it may be a sign of him needing help, and likely your response of yelling at him isn't one that's going to help anyone. I think the Parent-Child Journey classes can be really helpful too so perhaps those classes along with some therapy for him would be a good starting point. Or if you're not sure, maybe make an appointment with his pediatrician if you trust their opinion![/quote]
