hi sandra
my son is 22mths i actually went to tressillain to try and get help with tantrums and smacking naughtness even though what he does is normal i just wanted some ideas how to deal with him they seem to use distraction is the answer to everything in the beginning i thought it was a load of crap but in coming home i have found it does work he is rough with other kids when i was there he was being nice but would be rough or push and the helpers at tressiallan said its normal for kids to do stuff like that and when intervening can cause more probs but as for the smacking they told me to just distract them when ya see them heading in that direction of there goin hit i dont know if that advice is of any help just abit of what i found did help he is alot better but still a loveable monster lol
good luck
