[quote=Anonymous]I'm leery of giving too much personal information as it's not my intention to have my charges identified, so please bear with me.

Preschool age charge is biting, kicking, scratching, hitting and head butting me, and I've almost exhausted my repertoire.  He has done this with previous caregivers, and he recently bit a parent as well.

Things I have tried:
Hug
Immobilizing hug (only after he bit me)
Time out on stairs
Time out on bed
Down for a nap
Cancelled trip to park
Cancelled play date
Refused to continue playing when he hurt me
Refused to help with crafts when he hurt me
No screen time
No stickers

I refuse to spank or do anything physical, and that's also his parent's philosophy.  Does anyone have any more ideas?  He is sweet and adorable at times, then he is a hellion bent on making adults let him have his own way.  I can't let him do whatever he wants, he can't grow up thinking he gets whatever he wants when he wants it, nor can I allow him to harm himself when he doesn't understand something is dangerous.[/quote]
