suddenly aggressive 3 year old ds

post #1 of 3
Thread Starter 
he's never been a hitter until suddenly. i feel like this last week he's been constantly aggressive. yesterday he hit me repeatedly. i firmly told him that he was not allowed to hurt my body and i actually held his hands because he was following me around hitting. tonight he hit his best friend who is a younger girl. normally, he plays very gently with her. I'm frustrated. We've talked about how everyone has the right to a safe body and have told him that if he hits then we need to leave which we did tonight. i'm just frustrated and don't recognize this child who is normally a very sweet and sensitive boy.

Hi, i just posted wondering whether aggression can be a 3 year old phenomenon. All conditions being equal, is it a typical behavior? Im still not sure, because i cant find anything on it....anyone else know? Anyway, i sympathise.... i cant wait till my formerly sweet non hitting little boy comes back
