[quote=Anonymous]My kid is 4, but will try and hit me. I take both of his wrists in my hand. And I calmly say that I do not hit him and he will not hit me. I hold his wrists until he agrees to stop hitting. My kid is also a crasher and a digger with the chin. I get up immediately and walk away and say "you will not do that to me." The question here is leveling this up for a slightly older kid. My oldest kid was similar to this too (genetics seriously). I used to redirect edgy energy into leaning into each others hands, like bracing each other to see who was "stronger." I'm not sure I'm describing it well but that kid is now much older and a million times better than he was at 7. So I think it worked. [/quote]
