Oh no Don't be mad at him! That's why i thought i'd put this in the gentle parenting bit, because i do see that as much as my reaction is to grab all the other babies and run away from him, there should be some way to modify things.

He IS just a wee boy and as far as i can see his mum doesn't seem to be giving him even non-verbal cues about what is ok and what isn't. I really can't blame him if she's not teaching him any different. But there MUST be a gentle way of indicating that it isn't nice to hit people without me touching him? We tried for a time praising when he wasn't hitting people, but he actually is a bit bullyish, and tends to disrupt rather than join in an awful lot. Perhaps he's a bit bored singing with a room full of babies?
