[quote=Anonymous]Okay, so a three year old. And you say teachers have flagged it, but it isn't so frequent at home? So I'd say no, there is no utility to spanking here. Your three year old needs to learn impulse control. All three year olds do! So, some suggestions: get the books "Hands are not for hitting", "Teeth are not for biting," (there are others, like Pets are not for Hurting. Pick as needed). Next, explicit teaching on skills. Pick a couple of areas where your son is liable to misbehave - and don't even worry about the going out to eat thing. Just skip it. But if he generally fights over toys, or hits when you tell him no to another cookie, plan out a lesson plan, essentially. How do you teach a three year old? Well, role play works. And simple questions "Ow! That hurt! How do you that I feel now?" And practice.

The teachers are not allowed to spank, so ask them for tips, too. What do they think works? And if they say, basically, that they don't know and that they are out of tools...you have a lousy day care/pre school and you need a new one. If this is run of the mill three year old terror (which it sounds to be, so far) they should easily be able to deal with it. But if they sound truly worried, listen to them and talk to the ped.[/quote]
