Tuesday: more hitting

Oh, poor Joshua.  Today he hit Isaac, and it was over a really dumb thing.  Again, not hard, but it's something we need to stop.

Last time we told him there would be big consequences, like losing screen time.  And so, he lost screen time today.  To make it even worse, we had planned that today the kids would do their chores in the afternoon so that in the evening Ben could play Dragon Quest Builders with them and he lost the chance to do that.  (Especially since he hit Isaac after they had both already done their chores.)

He was sad, very sad, but also handled it a lot better than I was expecting.  He had lots of questions about how exactly this would play out but seemed to understand why it was happening.

Now the question is...will it help him stop?
