[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 59955, member: 3419"] Having him run around the yard is a really good idea. Why would the neighbors find a problem with-that? That's what kids DO! The neighbors need to bug off. So sorry he's hitting again. Maybe you could have him do something physical with-his brothers like three-legged races, if they will permit it, so he's touching them and using up energy, but not directly hitting them. While you're gently pulling him off of his brothers, tell him while he's in the middle of it, that if he stops immediately, he can do something physical with-them in the a.m. as a reward. I emphasize gently because it's easy to get into it and have him actually enjoy fighting you and then it becomes a foursome! If he's hypoglycemic, you could try feeding him turkey (tryptophan) and warm milk (yes, it works! but only warm!) b4 bed. (No bread or potatoes--too many carbs to keep him awake). In re: to screaming in public, I always take an exaggerated pose, like with my hand on my hip and my other hand on my forehead, or my other hand looking at my watch in a very exaggerated fashion, and I stand about 3 ft away, so it's clear I'm not touching him. People come over to see what's going on and then they see me and roll their eyes and walk away. Works for me! Good luck. [/QUOTE]
