Our three- year-old Wesiey appears to be a very angry child who often hits and kicks when he does not get his way. «We have tried yelling at him, giving him tine outs sand “have. ever | resorted. to - Beate: bur this only seems “to. ‘make the situation worse. ‘He’ can’: be © extremely ~ demanding and. angry and ———-—— jE AE TH — Foundation raises funtis Bank [5ti. and Lonsdale Branch or doctors’ offices. Proceeds from the sale of the calendars will go towards equipping an additional oper- ating room at Lions Gate Hospital and will help ensure that the North Shore Health Region continues to provide the highest standard of acute and emergency care at Lions Gate Hospital. Provincial funding is pri- marily for hospital operating costs and some capital equip- ment. Increased demand for healta services and ongoing funding shortfalls is placing we want to help him express himself better. Answer: You have discovered what many parents unfortunately do not realize, that spanking only makes the situation worse and it represents the adult’s inability to control his/her anger. I strongly recommend that you do not hit him at all anymore as this results in more frustration on his part _and anger towards you for being stronger and more competent than he is. It sounds as if Wesley is a very angry young child who is struggling with his own feelings of power or lack of it pease Whi lendar growing pressures on the NSHR to find funds for equipment trom elsewhere, The Lions Gate Hospital Foundation continues to assist in meeting this need through fundraising activites such as this one. The Lions Gate Hospital Foundation and the North Shore Health Region are committed to — working together to be the healthiest community in North America.

INCONTINENCE FORUM three-year-old’s anger and his perceptions that oth- evs can harm him or hurt him. ‘Time out does not help, as it reinforces for him that he is “bad” and that neither Mommy or Daddy can con- tain his bad feelings, which would help him feel better. Time-in would be more appropriate as it assures him that you do care aad that you are pot frightened by his feelings. He needs more cuddles, hugs and reassurances from both of his parents that he is truly loved and cared about ard that he does not have to be coo independent just yer. When he has been aggres- sive, take him aside, as quiet- ly as you can, and sit by him, until he is able to be return to the situation with ease. This will probably need to happen frequently at first as you are offering him an alter- native to his usual pattern. Reassure him that you care and try not to lecture as this cannot be really under- stood by a child of his age. If his aggression contin- ues, I would also suggest that you and your husband visit with a child psychologist on a private basis to learn what else may be happening at home and in his environ- ment that is creating distress. — answer by Dr. Joan Pinkus Sunday, November 19, 2000 — Thursday, Nov. 23, 6:50-9 p-m., YWCA, 535 Homby St., Van.
