Hi,
DH and I are at the end of out tether with DS1 (5) behaviour in certain situations and we feel that we need help as its ruining our family time at the moment.
Does anyone know if Super Nanny, Tiny Tearoways type of help actually exisits? Are there quailified people out there (not saying SN is qualified) who can help you get things back on track, does anyone have experience of this and if that kind of help isn't out there where do you turn?
DS1 is a bright, friendly and kind little boy but his need to have attention 100% of the time (expeically with visitors or when we go to other peoples houses) is a realy problem. He is loud, rough and and gets so hyped up and overexcited that its impossible for any threats or punishments to penetrate his brain.
Yesterday we visited family and he had to be taken into time out 5 times, each time he sat and did his time, looked remorseful but continued with the same behaviour almost immediately.
His behaviour doninates our lives, i nolonger invite existing friends round and am relectant to invite new freinds round becasue of his behaviour, he just had to be the centre of everything and i end up in tears once the door is shut and everyone has gone home.
We involve him in positive ways, he gets lots of praise for good behaviour, DH and I spend one on one time with him etc
Know people have a lot bigger problems to deal with but i know that we aren't coping that well and feel we all need help. We have mad him this way and have no idea how o undo all the mess we have made.
Thanks if you got this far, i only intended to do a quick post
