    Can you teach the other children to stand up better or at least sooner as in rather than waiting for the child to take the item work on the personal space concept. When the child comes within a couple feet of them they are allowed to scream (well yell loudly/firmly) xxxx name of child STOP. If the child is stopped in his tracks before he commits the offense then chances are it won't happen. He is impulsive and has obviously never learned any measure of self-control. Getting others to "help" him with gaining control would make everyone feel empowered and take some of the pressure off you too. Besides it is most effective coming from peers.

    Yes there is always the chance the other children will abuse the privilege and yes there is the chance it will be used to isolate the child and not let him play but until he learns to play nicely no one is happy anyways. But until the child learns to "stop, wait, and listen before taking his turn" no one is going to play with him anyways.

    Thanks playfelt...I will think about this as well. It is true, none of the kids want to play with him...they cringe when he comes near. He is not a bad kid...not mean, just impulsive and very annoying to the other kids. Actually, thinking about it, he mainly does the toy snatching with the other boys. Dcg stays well away from him and doesn't even want to sit beside him, but he never steals from her...she is very quiet and polite, but she must be standing her ground in some way. My daughter too is hardly ever the victim in these exchanges. Maybe the girls are better at seeing it coming and avoiding...not sure.
