Punishment

Our little boy is having trouble with violence. We have started to take away all violent toys, movies and games. He love Star Wars, so it is an especially effective punishment. Today is the first time he doesn't get anything violent. A few days ago, we took away all Jedi stuff to try and teach him to control himself and that Jedi only use violence when absolutely necessary. I hope it works. It is tough to teach a 4 year old that he needs to think before he does. It is definitely a needed life skill, though. In most instances, he is such a good little boy. He is fun and smart, but he just has trouble with hitting his family. At least he doesn't hit other kids.
