DS1 recently turned 7. I have to admit I have always struggled to bond with him 😟but I do try very hard. I would say, for the past year or so, that his behaviour has become really difficult and I struggle especially because of the bond "issue". He shouts at me, has no respect and has started to become quite aggressive. DP on the other hand experiences impeccable behaviour (they have a great bond), and when I need DP to step in and help me tackle the discipline in a certain situation, DS1 obeys him straight away.
Despite not being close to DS1, I really want to be, but I just don't know what to do and how to tackle his behaviour.
Any advice/constructive criticism please...
