Need some help as my DH and I are pulling our hair out with our 5yo DS. In the last couple of weeks or so his behaviour has just gone right down the pan. Its nothing very major - just one long string of little things that just seem constant from morning to bedtime. He never does anything first time and he laughs at any discipline (he seems to enjoy sitting on the stairs and he is not into anything in particular to be able to take it away!)I am worn out with trying to negotiate with him. In the last week he has chucked a couple of tantrums too when he hasnt got his own way.
I KNOW its end of term and he is tired but we cant go on like this! We are off on holiday once school finishes and am now beginning to dread it with this monster that my child has become!
Has anyone got any really good strategies that may help me deal with this child that seems impervious to punishment?!?
