[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here- thanks all, appreciate the suggestions.

He gets lot of outside time- at daycare during the week and then on the weekends.  Sometimes we do additional outside time after daycare but he plays hard and already seems exhausted.  We rarely allow screen time during the week- occasionally in the morning but the evening routine is short playime, dinner, books, bed by 730pm. [b] I don't want to take away books as punishment, so I'm always at a loss over punishment for hitting besides a time out.[/b]  Sometime I think he does need an even earlier bedtime but I struggle to get the 1yo down before 7.  My book time with him is after this.  I will try harder though- maybe we skip playtime and go straight to dinner.

But yeah, clearly we do not have the tools to parent him so i'll look for the psychologist for some help. Thanks again.[/quote]

Guess what we ended up having to do? Giving him regular screen time in the evenings so it could be taken away as a consequence!  It worked like a charm.  At the age when we started therapy, screen time was pretty much the only privilege that was important enough to him to make a difference.  All it takes is say one show every night to do the trick.
