[quote=Anonymous]I’m guessing you wouldn’t let students hit each other in the classroom and have zero consequence. You are emotionally tied to your own children and you read a book that may work some families, but clearly not yours.

Your 3 year old hits/hurts anyone, you immediately pick him up and put him in another room, away from the toys. Every single time and immediately, even if there is another family over for a play date, don’t use their presence as a reason to be inconsistent. You say firmly “NO hitting.” With a serious face. Don’t go into a long drawn out explanation of family love and sibling responsibility. Ask him to repeat the rule. Ask if he’s ready to go back to play. If he is, you go. Praise him at random times when you see him playing well with his sibling. LATER when things are calm you can say “it’s annoying when Larlo takes your toy, huh?  What else can you do when you’re mad at him?” But after the offense, be simple about it, but firm. And please be consistent. Otherwise it won’t work.
