5 year old beating up OLDER children..?

Question

My 5 year old son was just caught smacking,punching,and kicking the neighbor's son, who is 10 years old. This 10 year old is my 10 year olds very good friend, and we've knew him since we moved here,10 years ago. I ran outside to get my son off of him and this child was bleeding,and crying. I took both kids inside to see why and how this happened. According to both of them, There are 2 different sides of the story. My 5 year old said " He didn't want to play with me. So, I did what people do on T.V, and i thought that would help." I strictly DO NOT let him watch T.V with violence. He only watches cartoons, disney channel, and nickelodeon. The 10 year old said " I don't know why he did it. But i didn't do anything. Honest." And he started to cry a little. My son never acts like this, and we dealt with a similar situation like this last week when he kicked and punched his brother for not letting him play. I punished him for a week, no toys,no TV,no video games,no computer, and he couldnt

Answer 1

If your husband is a police OFFICER who takes a five year old out with him, your family is seriously messed up!

Answer 2

Your child has what is most commonly known as  the early stages of "anti-social" behavior.   Which could prove to be very bad if not treated or reprimanded in the right way.    If you think the child is liable to hit you yourself, then that means the child has no respect for you.  A child should never strike his/her parents or anyone else for that matter, but especially not the parents.    The parents are the most important parts of a child's life. They are the first people he/she sees and relates with in life.   If there is not a loving/caring/talkative/attentive relationship with your child and yourself, then the child is more than likely to develop anti-social behavior and when the child gets older, they are more likely to run with individuals who share their same characteristics which could eventually lead to a life a crime.

Answer 6

mabye he watched tom and jerry at the neighbors house or something and also there is some violence in nick there is catscratch and stuff that has violence in it so just tell him no hitting and dont let them play alone in the yard anymore or watch them carefully for the next 2 weeks or so to see what they do to eachother

Answer 7

My first reaction is...what?  you are letting your 5 year-old go with his dad to watch him take down criminals?  He don't need tv...he's got real life violence.

It is good that you and your husband are having this talk with him, but don't expect that to be the end of it.  He will likely need some serious discipline in the future on this issue.  Make a plan with your husband and be united on this front.  Some professional help might be needed if you don't see improvement pretty soon.

I think you can accurately predict that some bigger kid is going to beat the snot out of your son sooner or later, which might teach him the lesson he needs to learn, but hopefully you can turn him around before that happens.

Answer 8

Yikes.

I think this must be quite tough for you.Tell your son that he should try and be friendly,otherwise he won't have any friends.

I also think you shouldn't give in. Stay to your word and he'll respect you, and will listen to you when you say "NO". Use other disipline routines to show him whose boss.

Answer 9

You are a complete idiot if you let your 5 year old go to work with his father, a police man.

If you think about it, cartoons contain insane amounts of violence.

Also, i doubt very much that a FIVE YEAR OLD beat up a ten year old. You embelish way too much. the kid probly got a couple of cuts from playing around, and you came out and saw your son just hitting the child, roughhousing.

Answer 10

Wow...he must be a strong 5 year old. It's important to talk to him about not being violent, but it is also important to show that he can't have his way all the time. Think about it, if he is 5 NOW, what do you think he is going to be like in his teens? Hopefully he'll grow out of it, but if he doesn't, you can't take th chance because he'd be harder to control than ever in his teens. So the best option is to take action now, make sure that it gets through his head that violence is not the option. Hope this helps.

Answer 11

wtf-ever, a police dad .... take his son w/ him???

he should be kicked off the force for indangering the life of a child first of all,

a punk *** cop has no idea what could happen to him on his beat, and Im very positive the so called, "police force" would let their own child be they're civilian ride-along.

your 5 yr old beating up a 10 yr old.

maaan, get real.

thats like sayin floyd mayweather would beat up kimbo slice.

never gonna happen.

violence and cartoons. ..... hmmmmm.

how many times you see road runner blow up wiley coyote???

how many times elmer fudd shot at bugs bunny???

and the real deal .. **** the police.

you just sound like you are definately under the 100 average for an IQ
