Hitting, Kicking, Biting and Hair Pulling

7. Give your Child a Time Out

When a child acts out aggressively, immediately and gently take him by the shoulders, look him in the eye and say: "No hurting others-time out." Guide the child to a chair and tell him: "You may get up when you can play without hitting." By telling him that he can get up when he's ready, you let him know he is responsible for controlling his own behavior. If he gets up and hits again, say: "You are not ready to get up yet," and direct him back to time out.
