My eight year old has issues with kicking and hitting
My 8 year old son will not stop kicking and hitting me.
Please any advise is needed. I am currently pregnant and I have an eight year old son that kicks and hits me. He has being kicking and hitting me and a few other adults since he was just two. His father and I have been divorced since he was three and he will not go to any counseling with him even though he kicks and hits him too. He says I need to deal with it since he is with me most of the time. I do not know what to do anymore.
He does not kick or hits other kids so I am not worried about the new baby but I need to get him to stop this terrible behavior. Just telling him to stop is not working. I do not spank my kids I do not see the point in doing the very thing to him that I am trying to get him to stop. Any advise besides spanking would be great.
