Don't, Don't, Don't hit your friends!

G went thru a couple of weeks at school this spring where he was having some "Aggression issues". It all came to a head one day when he smacked one of his friends in the face with a plastic shovel and left a mark. Bring out Angry Mommy. I took away a whole slew of toys and privileges including his new scooter and spent hours discussing why we don't hit our friends and how its not a good response when someone takes your toy.

Well he seemed to get the hint, because he didn't hit again, and for weeks after that I'd ask him how school was and he'd tell me "It was great Mommy, I didn't hit my friend today"

I supposed thats all I can ask of a 3 year old right?
