i have issues with that too. I notice though when he "thinks" he is in control he minds me much better, and having alot of rules and boundaries will do that too, I did that and Ive been taking on rule at a time (not safety related) and he seems to do much better this way I think I bomborded him at first. I wish you the best, I know its hard, just be patient and consistency is key!

You are very welcome. Don't feel bad about it either. I always say it's like that song I don't like you but I love you feel like I'm always thinkigg of you :) our children will not always like what we do or say and.we will not always like what they do or say but if we do everything out of love they will understand :)

Be patient, and consistent. You have to be the "heavy". Example : If you say no, do not touch that or you will have a time out, and he touches it, do not just let him get away with it, actually give him the time out. He is going to test you to see how far he can go and how much he can get away with. Remember to be firm. If he does something do not laugh at it while trying to punish him he will think it is a game. BE strong and , they are going to test you, he is a child. If you are getting frustrated, take a moment to yourself, sing a little song to calm your self down, or step into the bathroom and have a little you time by taking a shower, stretch, or do something to calm you down. Sometimes they feed off of our emotions. Good Luck Momma
