[QUOTE="frustrated04, post: 591109"] No more spanking here. Little dude, 8, had a few moments where my first reaction was to whack him. But then he would go right back to the behavior and I realized that I hadn't taught anything beyond me being bigger and stronger. I have apologized for hitting him and he's apologized for hitting us. He knows now that while I'm not going to hit him, I also will not let him hurt me or daughter. I will restrain him when he gets aggressive and it will be uncomfortable. We're getting close to where he'll come to me when he feels himself escalating. As for safety issues, he's still young enough that I just prevent them. He knows that if he takes his seatbelt off one time in the car, he goes in the harness for 6 months. If he tries to run in a parking lot, he loses the privilege of walking and will be in his stroller for a month. If he so much as unlocks the front door without telling me, he loses the privilege of playing in the yard alone. We have basic safety covered. The world will stop if he refuses his medications. I can't see any other reasons to hit him. [/QUOTE]
