You know, I really had been hoping that the head-butting, hitting, pinching and kicking that started to occur recently were random, isolated incidents.  I am coming to realize that this violence is not going to stop on its own.  Slugger came at us full force this weekend, slapping my face, pinching Nanny Norma’s cheek (the combination of which earned him his first time out, which was not a fun experience for him), kicking my head while I was trying to get him to nap and then, the piece de resistance, another head-butt to the nose yesterday afternoon when our dog Riley woke him up from his nap.  We’re doing time outs now each time he’s at all aggressive, but I don’t know if that is enough.  We’re also withholding his one piece of candy per day (a tiny little gummy bear) if he’s not nice.  I’m not sure that he understands that, though.  What do you all do?  I don’t think it’s too early to discipline him; I just want whatever I do to be effective (or at least possibly effective – I know not all kids are going to react the same to methods)…
