He is 5 years old and gets over excited and lashes out by hitting or biting, he does not mean to be angry or upset or hurt other children though and he will never do as he is asked first time.

My child hits and bites other children
Shona, your entry in the Forum commences by a statement that your son bites and hits other children.
This behaviour you identify: * as excitement * He doesn't mean what he does or doesn't mean to be angry and upset * He never does initially what he is asked to do (and I suppose not asked to do).
I hope as a parent that you can realise that everything you noted about this child is a contradiction in terms and fact. /////////////// E.G. for you to say that he does not mean to hurt other children, cannot be true at his age level. Suggested remedy: Call that 'nasty behaviour' what it is, and hold him to account, frown upon it and provide correction, a warning smack if you are that way inclined. Deprive him promptly of the company of children involved, take away a toy, no ice-cream-the list is endless. Next time he lashes out-control the situation like a flash of lightning! Above all, if there is a Daddy, get him involved. B.

Don't understand by: Barnaby
I'm sure that many would like to advise you,but like me, don't quite understand your question???
It seems that your son attacks children, yet he does not want to do that????????
Also apparently when he is told not do this he will not listen. If I got this somehow right thethen follow this method:
A) the moment that he badly behaves, get him away from these children, and give him a warning smack---that day he is not allowed to be with them,even if it is his birthday, but let the other children stay and enjoy themselves. B)When he is invited to go to a children's party, tell him 'no! you can't behave yourself!
He will soon get sick of this ---then after some time and him pleading, try it again. If he misbehaves, straight home and a mild spanking.
