Restless and naughtiness
My three-year-old son is very restless. He constantly hits everyone in the house (especially who loves him), pulls their hair. He does all this while laughing, not realizing that anyone is being hurt. Moreover, he does whatever he wants. He doesn't want to listen to anyone. What should we do as parents? Guide us, please. We're worried!

Greetings,This kind of behavior can be common at age three as children learn to express themselves. The key is to be consistent and calm. When he hits or pulls hair, immediately and gently stop the action, say "no hitting" or "we don't pull hair," and redirect him to a different activity or toy. Praise him enthusiastically for positive behavior, like playing gently. Setting clear, simple boundaries and consistently reinforcing them will help him learn.
