| Children this age have a hard time expressing anger with words, and often resort to fists because that is an easy and clear way to let someone know they are ticking you off. All you can do is punish the behavior if it happens when you aren't in the room, but if you are there, you can usually see it escalating or can tell that this is a situation that could easily become violent for your child. In that case, approach the child. Speak calmly (he isn't going to learn better behavior if you lose your cool). Ask him to tell you how he feels, why he feels that way, and what ideas he has about how to fix the problem. It sounds stupid, but if used properly it will train him to develop a thinking process to deal with anger. Obviously a situation is resolved with thought, not force. Just my opinion. Good Luck! |
