You are leaving the house with your 10 and 6 year old sons. The six year old steps outside, closeds the front door, and then absentmindedly, remains standing in front of it. This is Florida, the front doors open out. The 10 year old opens the door and is met with the resistence of his brother on the other side who says "Hey!". He reacts by giving the door a considerable shove, sending his little brother flying. Little brother lands on driveway, knee's first.

The 10 year old is usually a good kid, but he has been having a bad day and is obviously taking it out on the 6 year old.

What do you do?

A. Quietly explain to the 10 year old that intentionally hurting his brother is not acceptable.
B. Remove a privelage (take away computer, TV, etc.)
C. Give him a smack on the rear.

It depends on the child. At least A, maybe A and C.

You can never give C without A.
