I am in a miserable state. My three and a half year old son's behaviour has left me in tears. My son is among hyperactive kids, he is always on the move. All this is O.K. But problem arises when he hits other kids. Sometimes from parks or school i get complains that he pushed someone or hit some kid. When i talk to him about this he always admits whatever he does and makes promises that he will not do it again. For a few days he behaves well(doesnot hit anybody) but then again he starts off with the same thing. In the class he is nice, well behaved, active and participative,as i never get complains from the teachers ever. Hitting other kids is the only problem i have with him. pls suggest in what way should i make him understand that he should not hit anybody ever.

Try going with him in parks and make him engage in activities their, like sldies, or swings, or take a ball where he can hit as much as he wants...:)...or take the ring which he can play with other children staying apart or skipping rope can also help, once he gets engaged in other activities he will stop creating the problem, make him mix up with other children..:)

I think that maybe it's time to invest in some outside help besides us on mylot. I have to say I have 5 kids and I have 2 with adhd/add but my one son is agressive and I actually took him to get help and there were many reasons for the way he is and we work at them and he gets better day by day. Good luck and try and find a doctor that you can trust to do a simple evaluation.

Have you seen your son hit other kids or are you just getting complaints? When my son was younger he would hit his cousin and I would ask him and he would say yes I did. I would tell him it is not nice and like you he would behave for a few days. I did not ask the right question, the question of Why did you hit? Later I witnessed my nephew hitting him first, and calling him names. Not that hitting is right and I would never say it was but when a child of that age is instigated they feel that it is thier only defense. With school reports being so good about your son I am bound to say it is not a behavior problem. Usually they grow out of this stage and they begin to realize that hitting is not the answer. Does it happen with certain children? if so I would just watch a little more closely to what is really happening.

I guess there is a very little thing that you must do. Talk to your child. Ask him why he has to hit children. There must be a problem that he can't say that's why he expresses his feelings through hurting other kids.
