My little lad is 4 and a half and about to start 'big' school this September. He is quite a good boy, he know the difference from right and wrong, he has very good manners and he and his little sister (2.5yrs) get on well. But this last few months he has turned into a brat. He screams and shouts as soon as he doesn't get what he wants. It has got out of hand. Also he screams his head off at bedtime. I thought the bedtime thing was just a faze but 18 months later its still going strong! We have done everything from leaving him to scream to lying with him for a while. Nothing works! Then lately he has started these almighty paddys. I am at my wits end. He has been watching 'Power Rangers' on TV and has 3 small Power Ranger figures - but today I have thrown them in the bin (in front of him - for punishment for the paddys) and I have banned him from watching them on TV. Have I done the right thing? Or am I being too dramatic?
