[quote=Anonymous]OP - I think you need to get to the bottom of it- why is he hitting? I'm not trying to be "nicey nice" here-- at seven, hitting a parent is out of bounds. I expect that your son knows that hitting is wrong and that there will be consequences, but he's still doing it. I had a seven year boy who hit me occasionally in anger-- the only thing that worked was figuring out the root cause of the problem and addressing it at the source. Parents who have never dealt with this sort of thing may be surprised to learn that punishment was our least effective tool to address hitting at this age- to work, it relies on a child having good self control and foresight. If a kid has these skills they wouldn't be hitting in the first place--for the sole reason that they wouldn't want to upset their parents. [/quote]
