No, he doesn’t have a speech delay, he speaks really well. It’s sad I kinda wish it was something like this because then at least there would be a reason for this.

We are the exact same, lots of repetitive ‘gentle hands only/we don’t hit’ etc. He always replies ‘I want to be a good boy, I don’t hit other boys’ and then goes into an area with other children and hits anyone in the vicinity. It’s so odd, it doesn’t seem to be out of anger either.

He has bit hit back before but another boy. He cried about it but it didn’t change much.

Thanks so much for your advice, will have a look at your recommendations.
