Dealing with anger in a 3 1/2 year old


My son has been experimenting with showing his anger by hurling heavy objects toward whomever he's angry at, pulling hair, hitting, clawing, spitting. Think slow-motion toddler exorcist, minus the obscenities. Nothing that we say or do seems to help. "Consequences" like time-out or removal of favorite toys just exacerbate the situation. Restraining him (by holding him) is sometimes necessary, but it too exacerbates the situation. Help us, reddit. via /r/Parenting http://ift.tt/2oMHMqf
