[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, you are trying to get him to stop by using empathy and morality and ethics -- explaining he needs to treat the child as he wishes to be treated; bullying is wrong, etc. All of those are valuable lessons but your child is just not ready for them. That does not make him a bad child but he is not developmentally ready to consider the other child's feelings in this situation. He sees that the other child does not like him and he wants to hurt him back. In this situation, stop with the moral lessons and empathy paradigms. Your child gets punished for his misbehavior. He loses a privilege -- screentime; a favorite toy is taken away. He cannot make the cognitive leap you are asking of him.[/quote] Not OP, but her post did say he lost privileges the last time.[/quote] clearly not for long enough to remember the lesson, or not the ones he really cares about.[/quote]
