I think that is wor...At least he isn't biting. I think that is worse. You should not feel worried about punishing him - he knows he the difference between good and bad on a very basic level already and can appreciate when you tell him no. I would encourage you to use time out (one minute for every year he is old - so just one minute). It may seem like it isn't working, but it will take about a day or two and he will get the message. Just designate a spot (we had a 1 foot by 1 foot carpet square) as the time out spot and tell him he has to sit there in time out after he pulls hair - even yours. Be stern - don't smile. If he gets up, put him back until he fulfills his 1 minute - it will seem like an eternity to you and him. Then if he gets up and does it again, put him right back in time out. This worked really well for our kids even at this young age and I was not convinced (at the time) that the kids were old enough to understand it, but they are. Oh, and don't ever feel like a bad mommy! Kids are kids and do these things, the important part is that you make every effort (within reason) to put an end to the bad behavior. Good luck. I know these times can be frustrating.Theresahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07915254352452492849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-437617106092258918.post-67617890603720952132009-06-09T08:23:37.902-05:002009-06-09T08:23:37.902-05:00thanks rachel! that makes me feel a little better...thanks rachel! that makes me feel a little better!
