  • Hi

    I am currently going through a similar thing with my little boy, he is 2.6 and currently in the assessment stage. He has previously gone through stages of pulling my hair, biting but just recently has added hitting to the list! It does seem to be mainly when he is frustrated, wants something or is very tired and also when putting him to bed. I will take note of theadvice about keeping notes of triggers thanks, but can anyone help with how to deal with the aggressive behaviour? I've tried saying no, stop, ignoring it and saying no and then walking away. My son is only aggressive towards me and my husband which is obviously good that he isn't behaving that way to other kids but is very upsetting for us both. The only way he stops is if I walk away he follows me and then I can distract him. Should I be trying to teach him that this behaviour is wrong or just accept it and try and ignore / distract!
