I have met another woman at the playground on several occasions who has a 20 m.o. son who is very aggressive. He pushes other kids aside to get their toys, grabs everything he can get his hands on, and seems very very aggressive in general. No only that, but he's a really big husky little kid!
His mother is very frustrated, and always talks gently to him trying to encourage him to ask permission before taking a toy, be gentle with the other kids etc. He's not talking yet so he isn't able to verbally express his feelings or wants, he just gets what he wants by brute force.
My DS is so gentle I really don't have any suggestions for her but I think she would love to get some other input on how to deal with her son's aggressive behavior.
Any suggestions?? Thanks!!
