Thanks so much for your tips and for sharing the not so pleasant side of what your toddlers can get up to. It really helps knowing that there other toddlers doing not so great stuff sometimes and it's not to do with being a bad parent.
We went to a park today and he played so nicely with all the other kids i was very proud, although the odds may have been stacked in his favour as he was the youngest/smallest so probably wouldn't have hit/pushed anyway.
Dachlosta - lol at boring little lectures - i do that lots though i'm sure its in one ear out the next! Lynnette - I can't think of any triggers as such except when he get so excited he doesn't know what to do with himself. It confused why he started being pushy on Tuesday as we've been going to the same walking group for months and he's always played so nicely before. Rachael - I've asked him why but he just looks at me blankly. I don't think he has enough words to tell me yet or else he's being sneaky and pretending he has no clue what i'm on about! Sam - i will definitely try the time out strategy if it happens again when we are out. We use it at home and it works so well we hardly have to do it anymore as just the warning works, i just haven't done it outside yet.
