re: Ever had a naturally violent kid?

My son is naturally playfully aggressive, but I wouldn't say violent.
He did get in trouble a good bit in preschool for biting (once so bad, he bruised a poor girl's face), but what toddler doesn't go through that phase?
He's in kindergarten now and his teacher has told me to remind him that the playground is not a place to wrestle, and to keep his hands to himself in the classroom. I had to fuss at him at basketball a few weeks ago because he was just sitting on the bench slapping his two really good friends for no reason, thinking it was hilarious. And last week he was whacking his best friend on the bench with his water bottle.
He's not trying to be mean or violent, but as a parent it does get extremely frustrating because I have explained endless times how to behave and treat others.
I suggest you stop wrestling, kids watch and listen to everything. They can't tell the difference that it is ok to do with you and not their friends.
To the first part, discipline has NEVER worked for my son, ever. He'd rather do the wrong act and suffer the consequences. We have to work off a reward system, his preschool used to have to do the same for him. Worked much better for us.

Will she grow out of this as long as we keep constantly disciplining her and should I stop play wrestling with her?

This is my kid to a T. We tried punishing for bad behavior (taking away toys) and rewards for good behavior. Punishing didn't seem to help at all to change his behavior. Sure, he'd get upset when losing toys, but he'd still do the same bad behaviors. Rewarding good behavior seemed to have some effect, but then it got to a point, but had diminishing returns over time.
