help on how to calm down a three year old, given back cheek and slapping other kids?
Answers:
Need to use time outs. Remove child immediately from situation and people. They are usually meant to stay isolated 1 minute per year of age. Everyone involved then gets that chance to count to ten, regroup, then discuss what happened, why the time out, the consequences of their actions, and what they'll do next time. For most youngsters, they just can't stand being alone and removed from you or their playmates. It can be very effective.
make him realize that it hurts the other guy when he do so.
