Luke gets frustrated easily when he is sick, and on top of the mini-tantrums like the one he had in the bagel shop he can be too rough. This morning he slapped Dada a little bit on the couch.
L: [slaps daddy's arm]
D: That's too rough, Lucas. I don't like that.
L: [looks concerned and starts patting daddy's arm gently]
D: Thank you Lucas, that's much better.
It's almost (almost!) better than no slapping at all. Every toddler has the urge to hit, bite, push, etc. You can't eliminate the urge; the goal is just to learn to control it. It's so great to see him doing that!
