I have tried not shouting...not spanking but my 4 year old continues to be aggressive with kids. Whenever he sees a kid his height or shorter,he will go hit him. Even when that child is not looking towards him. I have asked him why he is hitting but he looks down and keeps quiet. He is only child. But I have seen other single kids too and they do not behave like this. Is there any other parents here sailing or sailed in same boat? Otherwise he is an intelligent kid but short temperd. I have tried being patient since 3 days but he does not seem to be improving at all. Shall we take him for counselling?

Hi, I have a nephew ~ youngest child of three siblings will hit his peers. My sis in law told me this will work if both parents cooperate. At his age, he can understand that it is wrong to hit his peers. If he do that again, you have to be consistent and firm with your actions. Eg you will need to give time out to him everytime he do that. Your partner and you must use same parenting method. Means one said punish, the other must not use another way to resolve itm I have read this too. Hope it will able to help you to find your way to resolve your current problem .. www.parents.com/toddlers-preschoolers/discipline/anger-management/6-ways-to-curb-your-childs-aggressive-behavior/
