My son acts like a bully! help!
So here is my issue....I have a 20 month old son who is kind and loving, but when he gets with other boys he is tough and rough. He attends day care 2 days a week and does not have any problems there at all, but when we go to play group he pushes, hits, and just is rough with the other boys. It's embarrassing and no matter what I try to do, it does not stop. He is not as bad with girls. Oh, and he also hugs too much! Sometimes I swear he is rough with other kids just so he gets to hug and squeeze them after! What do I do???????

I've heard that when your child does this you should lavish attention on the person he hurt, hug, kiss, are you okay, etc. I've tried this with some limited success. I have also tried to tell my son that Matt(for example) is his friend and he wants Matt to be happy, play with him etc. so he needs to be kind. Show him a kind touch. I'm still experimenting. :) Good luck!

Kristen when I read your message I thougt you were talking about my son!. He is 20 months year old. I feel terrible when he push or not share any toys with the other kids. I met a ladya who has 3 kids and is very mellow and not make me feel but about this because when we are in the park some parents dont like that and feel awful. Lucas is the only grandchild and only kid in the family, he feels like a king.
I am glad Lucas is not the only one!. I just start with the time out and is working ok so far. My son has a lot but lot of energy. Everyone is impressed about that, he can run the whole park but the good thing is he sleeps great whole night.
I dont know what to do either!
