for me about how I can teach Myles that it's not ok to hit/kick/push/throw things when he gets mad please contact me. He has a vicious temper sometimes and I don't know what else I can say or do to get through to him. I don't want to spank him for hitting me because that seems to send the wrong message but sometimes there is nothing else to do. I've talked to him, Jeremy's talked to him until we are hoarse but he is still doing it. So if you have any suggestions for us we welcome them. Please pray for him too, that this attack by the enemy on his little spirit will be defeated in Jesus' name. Also pray that this cold sore he has will heal up quickly and that God will protect Damon from getting one. Once you have gotten the cold sore/fever blister virus it is in your system for the rest of your life and it can flare up at any time.
I definetly don't want Damon to think it's ok for him to act like that because he sees Myles doing it. Jeremy and I really need some wisdom about this. Myles is so sweet and loving one minute and the next he's a totally different kid. It's so frustrating. Talk to you later.

I know what the Super Nanny would tell you to do. Have a naughty corner or step and put him there when he is acting this way. Do not talk to him until he has sat there for his 5 minutes. When time is up let him know why you put him there and that his behavior is not acceptable, ever. He must apologize for his behavior and then you can tell him thank you for apologizing and give a hug or kiss. Consistency is the only thing that will help. He must have the same discipline each time he hits/kicks/pushes/ or throws things. I hope this helps.
I agree with the first comment and I also think that talking to him about the rage that wells up inside him at that moment that causes him to act out like that is unacceptabe but understandable. That you love him and it hurts you to see him that upset with you or someone else and that you know he doesn't want to act that way, he just doesn't know another way yet. And that you know he is frustrated. Maybe you can find some information on how to teach him to control that or use the mad energy in another way, like screaming into a pillow or something. That is a hard one.
