[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op again. So give me an example. If he hits me or kicks me do I give him a time out? (For us time out means going in your room) sometimes he doesn’t care ither times he hangs on the door. Feel like we’ve tried this so many times and the behavior didn’t change. What is something I do in the moment? [/quote]
By now you should have been reading 1, 2, 3 Magic instead you are procrastinating and finding excuses.
Do not hit mom or anyone. First warning. You will lose your fav toy.
Second warning as you see he is about to hit. You hit me again your “fav toy” is going to the garbage.
Third warning. Repeat. Then take away his toy while he watches, and let him see you throw it away in the garage trash. When he picks it up, from that trash, strap him in his car seat. Drive to public trash can, throw it away and drive off.
No yelling, no relenting, no negotiating. Toy gone. He will cry, you do not react nor are mad  just calm.[/quote]

This worked for us^^^ with similar tantrums.[/quote]
Previous pp that posted that. Worked for my two kids as well. From 2 and a 4 year old fits to perfectly behaved kids in less than a week. Most important part was me following up , being calm and consistent. No raised voice, nothing like that but also letting them know what is happening. Such as , “ in 10 minutes when your show/breakfast, etc is done, you will brush teeth, etc “ then repeat at 5 minutes and before I knew it they were being so great.
Not ordering them like dogs in the middle of their favourite activity like some Nazi.[/quote]
