[QUOTE="DaisyFace, post: 494612, member: 6546"] Bunny-- That DOES sound like a bad night....I'm so sorry. A word of advice from the "If-Only-I-Knew-Then..." Files - at his age, the physical stuff needs to stop YESTERDAY. He got physical and then you got physical...this is only going to lead to very bad places as he grows bigger and stronger. You need to sit him down (hey, sit the whole family down) and let him know that there is a new policy: NO HANDS ON ANYBODY. Period. No punching, no kicking, no pushing, no grabbing - it stops NOW. You are going to stop - and he is going to stop (and anybody else who needs to stop is going to stop). Next time somebody gets physical - you WILL call the police. Period. Now - nobody needs to get arrested...and police CAN give out-of-control kids a good "talking-to"... But the violent stuff has to end. I didn't call police on my daughter when she was that age (probably for all the exact reasons that just ran through YOUR head when you read this) - but if I had, the violence might not have escalated to the point that it did... I hope I can prevent someone else's family from even starting to head in that direction. [/QUOTE]
