what to do when child is hitting and is aggressive
Children remember rhyme rules: If you hit, you must sit! As soon as he is aggressive toward a playmate, separate them. Put him into a minute or two of time out and then show him how to play nicely. Between 2 and 3 years of age children can make the connection between being aggressive and getting undesirable consequences. Show and tell. Children need to learn that biting hurts but that you shouldn't bite back.
