Question

S loves to play drums so when I get a note saying he has hit his friends, he gets them taken away. He once in a blue moon (usually when he is tired) will try to hit me, but that is rare. At home, I usually do time out although if it is iminent danger (touching the stove) I do spank him and did spank until about 18 months. I am trying to push more time out so he learns to control his anger.

This morning he did say a few times how he can't hit his friends so I am hoping for a good note today, but I think the teacher he has also sets him on edge. He had her as a baby and she was the only one who would constantly complain about him so I don't think she works well with him. I am a teacher so I don't blame the teacher because it is not her fault so I discipline him and let him know it is unacceptable, but the previous problems as an infant makes me wonder.
