fighting cousins
my son and his cousin are both 3 and all his cousin ever does is bite and scram his face, he looks like hes been attacked by a cat! as soon as the old wounds are healed new ones appear, its really annoying me now, ive tried to separate them but its hard as his mother works full time and i look after him, ive now told my son to hit back as hes a very big boy for his age and mayby he wouldnt do it if he hurts him back, what do you suggest

well if your son's cousin is hitting him your son should hit bak but at a cirtin point you have to teach your son that if someone hurts him he can hurt bak... that way your son will chose if he is going to do it.. if not maby you should try to talk to them and tell them that they are cousin's and that they shouldn't fight together because family is alwaii'z gunna be there for you in the end! i guess those are the best ways! gOodLuCk!

Yes, teach your son to hit back. That's a good thing. If he doesn't learn how to defend himself now then he will be a whimp later. Other than that, I would advise you to have a talk with your nephews.

I don't think you should tell you son to hit back, you don't want him to learn that fighting is ok. If you are looking after his cousin, you have the right to give him some punishment. I know he is only 3 and may not quite understand, but next time he attacks your son, tell him that it is wrong and make him have a time out. Keep doing this, repitition will make him learn. And let his mother now about the problem.
