I have 2 boys also they are a bit older 5 and 10 but I use timeouts with both of them for hitting or shoving. My 10 year old is a bit old for a timeout but it embarrases him and seems to work better then anything else. I tell him if he wants to hit like a younger child then he can be put in timeout like a younger child. Consistancy is key with my 5 year old. If he hits he gets timeout too but if I am not consistant say he didn't do it hard so I give in and don't put him there, a hour later there will be a major blow that did hurt, so I have learned to be very consistant, don't let anything slide. Even if you know it caused no harm, it is still agressive and should be taken care of. Consistancy!
