Hi, Even my Son is not listening, he is 6+ and now i lose my temper very fast.
I have tried to give punishments like no playing hour if he dont listen. Eating is not problem but when ever we go out he keep on asking for some or other thing. i don't beat him but take a pinch so that he understands that whatever he is doing is incorrect. Then i ask him to chose only one thing which i can buy for him.
But still struggling to make him study. lets hope we both succed.

Hi yogeshdhusa: I hope you two can succed because, as a single person i know that life as father or mother is really difficult and there is no school that teaches us how to be a good father or mother, we all basically need to chose what's good to educate our children. In general I think that following your heart it's a good way to know if we are doing well our work as fathers and in very special cases a specialised help is recommended. Thanks for your answer yodeshdhusa. Hope you are having a nice day. Merry Christmas/ Happy Holidays. Take Care.

Hi ruby patson: In general i think that there's a simple solution for a problematic kid: it's just to make them understand the importance of responsability and respect for their parents. Maybe you need to take some actions, like ignoring him if he's discussing and if he makes a very big fault to not let him do something that he really loves. On the opposite always tell him that he's doing something right that he's doing the things just nice, and do an activity together as a reward.

I have two sons. The elder one is not yet 4. He can test my patience at times, but he can be well behaved at other times. One thing that frustrates me is that he never keep quiet, when I say no to him. Another is his non-stop running habit outdoors. I have tried punishing him, but restricting the priveleges is the only thing that worked with him. So I would suggest you to try out that. For not eating, you can try feeding him. Children can be like that at times and that is when you need to be patient.
