Need Serious Discipline help..

[readyin07]

Give me your books, your personal success stories...whatever. I am so fed up that I really am feeling like I no longer like my child. I love him more than life itself, but like him...not really.

DS 1

[ijack]

how old?

[drloretta]

I think we need more details than DS1 and you don't like him.
What are the issues? Are they synched to him being tired/hungry/etc?
Is he hitting, biting, scratching?
How long has this been going on?
What have your approaches been so far? How long have you tried them?
Is your DH on board and doing the same thing, or are you each taking a different approach?
I take it there are other siblings involved? Does it have something to do with them?
Does DS1 go to any kind of school or daycare? Do they see the same things?

Etc.

Ditto Dr Loretta.

Has he been tested for any behavioral issues like sensory integration or ASD?

If it is age related, hang in there. Four is sooo much better.

Me too. I was just remembering this morning when DS was always the difficult one, but now he is fine 90% of the time and it is DD that is the perpetual demon (turns 3 tomorrow!)
