I have a dcb coming tomorrow (has been here 4 times, comes every 1-2 weeks as relief for his mom). He is 2.5yo and aggressive. In front of me, he has dropped a large rock on a 1.5yo, repeatedly kicked a 1.5yo, hit his older brother (hands and with objects) and narrowly missed my baby on 3 occasions (with his foot about to step on her back, and with pushing toys, about to go over hands).
Each incident, I stopped his activity, took him to the side and talked about why the behaviour was not tolerated. After he expressed understanding, I either redirected him to appropriate activities (in the near misses), ended the activity (after the rock we all went inside) or put him to bed (the kicking/hitting was during story before nap).
I just got a message from his mom that he has been on meds for an ear infection all week. He is better, and was back to usual activities today, but he has been hitting her and his brother frequently. Her method is to sit with him on the stairs until he apologizes. She said to try whatever I think will work because her way isnt working.
Any tips??
