Quote From: akmjohnI am the father of twin boys 21 months old ,one of my boys has a shall i say evil streak, he hits throws toys and gets generally nasty when things dont go his way,and somtimes will hit and throw things at his brother for no reason other than to entertain himself .His brother looks as if he is being abused he always has bruises around his head and I am scared that if I dont stop this now that it will keep getting worse,but I dont know what to do to stop this from happening .Can anyone help give me ideas on how to stop the violence
DISCIPLINE. kids around 2-3 years old are very violent so it will get worse before it gets better...unless you do something about it. remember who's the parent and who's in charge. draw the line and dont waver your position. make firm commitments to punishments and they will expect consequences. if he hits, time out/isolation treatments, take away toys, no tv, etc. once the price gets high enough, he'll stop. oh ya he will very likely develop a certain resentment toward his brother but they'll probably get over it.
