I recently moved into a new place on my own with my two boys & I expected some behaviour problems with my boys as it is obviously a really big change & a very stressful time for them.
DS1 started behaved really badly from day 1 (as expected), but a month on it is getting no better, despite trying positive things like smiley charts etc.
Everything is a struggle (he is also being assessed for possible special needs), even simple things like asking him to get his shoes on is a challange.
He is answering back constantly, being rude, not doing as he is told & basically challanging me to the max.
This morning I started a new smiley chart with him, but it made no difference to his behaviour & he told me he would scribble all over it.
The second his father turns up to collect him, he turns into a different child.
I am feeling so low & so drained now. I am finding it so hard coping with it all on my own & just don't know how to make things better.
