  Omaha P. asked:

  Shannon asks: Please help. I am looking for recommendations of a therapist or psychologist to help our family. My biggest concern is the repeated violence of my 32 mo old son against my 8 month old son. I am seriously at my wits end with him. He has occasional moment of kindness which I praise profusely but mostly it is hitting, kicking, shoving, and even biting his younger brother. I am a SAHM and never ever leave them alone for minute. All these things are happening right in front of me where I am 2-5 feet away and too slow to stop it before it happens. I would say he hurts his brother around 10-15 times a day. I try to redirect initially but he is so persistent I usually escalate with a warning and time out. When the youngest is napping I spend lots of one on one time with my oldest. Lots of kisses and hugs. I think we need outside help in dealing with him. He is a very spirited child and is generally difficult in all things. He is aggressive with other children as well. I feel like a failure as a mom as I have been unable to teach empathy to my oldest or protect my youngest from harm and pain. Of course any other suggestions welcome but I think I am done trying to fix this on my own.

  I'd recommend Nanon Perdaems-Vigen at Envision Counseling. http://www.envisioncounseling.com/counselors. She works really well with children and trauma, and I think this would be a case for her.
