[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

This is horrible.  Don’t throw out stuff. [/quote]

+1. That’s insane and horrible parenting. [/quote]
lol. Let’s just talk it out while your 4 year old beats you. So effective![/quote]

PP. I didn't throw away a favorite toy but a new toy I had just bought. I was at the desperate point where parents in prior generations would have spanked or hit. [/quote]
Above pp again too. Nor did I throw the fav toy away. That was just an example for op All it took was throwing away the Happy Meal toy! Never had to throw away another, that is hoe effective it was, once and done and then following consistent warnings, telling kids what we are doing, giving them time to get ready. Plus, kids today have million toys, throwing away a toy is not even a punishment of some grand level.[/quote]
