When we tell him "No" he throws a big fit. He gets over it quickly so I am not overly concerned at this point but he also hits when he does not get his way and this I have a problem with. It took alot to remain composed the other day when he cracked me in the head with the mouse from my computer. OUCH!! He will also take whacks at the dogs if they are near by and he is not getting his way. Is there anything at this age I can do to teach him this is not acceptable behavior. I have tried to tell him to be nice and that he is hurting mommy/daddy but nothing works. Looking forward to some help with the whipper snapper. Miss Gina,
