3 year old started pushing other kids
My son has recently been pushing other kids and I've been feeling embarrassed. It's something new that he has been doing. Recently I don't feel like taking him out where there are a lot of kids. I'm hoping he will stop, he also has been having a lot of anger issues, it's been frustrating for me 😞

My kiddo does, too. I think this is the timing they start acting out thier own frustration- I wanted to play on the swing, go down the slide first, ect- but using phrases like " gentle hands to our friends" & "ask for your turn down the slide" encouragement to the correct behaviors can do wonders. Sometimes, if they don't know the words also demonstrating what they should be asking is helpful. "I see you wanted a turn on the swing. Asking for a turn will help. Ask, 'May I have a turn, please?' And linking up with the other adult ( unless the kid is 8-10 yo) can really add up. I try to state in some areas, the friends turn is in 2 mins. Let's be patient and (redirect playing) let's play on other things, and when turn is over, you can have a go'. Sometimes, this still ends in a tantrum, but the boundaries of sharing and turns is built here.
