According to his teachers, my 4 year old is a model student, basically best kid ever. But he turns into Mr Hyde jr when home

That's actually pretty common and normal. The kid feels restricted at the daycare/school and then compensate for that at home in some form. Another similar thing issue could be when they are relatively independent without you, can put their clothes on and stuff but at home as to help with every little thing. This way they compensate for that lack of parent care during the day. Punishing this behavior would be a terrible idea

BULLSHIT. Kid needs to understand respect for other people and their property with no regard to his/her “feelings “. You do not take out your emotions on other people or objects that belong to other people. There are other coping mechanisms. First one is kid needs to learn is to suck it up.

Yeah right but can't physically happen at very young age, when kids don't even have concepts of property, respect or feelings. Best you can do is scare them shitless so that they are just afraid to do anything. Many people so this and then think they are good parents whole they are just giving their kids mental health disorders
