My 4 year old kid is having problems of discipline at the child care
center.He has been hitting other kids. I have talked to him and
explained the consequences of his behavior. He seems to understand that
hitting is not correct, but he still keeps doing it. The people at the
child care center want to take Him out fo the program. I dont want this
to happend. Please help me. His mom & me have been separated for
almost three years.

We were going "insane" around our house. Our two children, Ezra (6
years old) and Lenny (7 years old), couldn't even be in the same room,
together, without hitting, biting, kicking each other. It was also
happening at school. (Unfortunately, they had the same lunch period
and recess--although they were in different home rooms.) Our neighbor
is a guidance counselor at a different school. She knew we were having
"self control" problems. She pointed us towards a special website
(WeBehave.Com) and suggested that we get a starter behavior activity
program, Behavior Beasts and some incentive coupons from that site. (I
can't think of the name, but it was on the same page.)Well, I could
just kiss my neighbor. The kids are much more in control of
themselves...no more aggressive behavior, and they actually seem to
like each other, now. At least they are respecting each other's space!
