My 5 yr old is really pushing boundries and I really dont know how to cope with him. Every night its a battle to get him to go to sleep, I've tried taking toys away I've screamed and shouted (I know not the best thing to do) I've left him to scream and shout himself to sleep.
Tonight I was shopping with my parents he showed me up so bad in Asda I wanted the ground to swallow me up. He ran about pretending to shoot enemie (star wars I blame my soon to be ex for letting him watch it) I shouted for my dad when I told him to stop shouting he give me such a dirty look, then he asked if he could have a cake, I thought he meant like a mini muffin or something but he wanted a fricken birthday cake. I said no you aint have a birthday and he went into a terrible strop screaming crying getting on.
Every day I seem to have to battle him and I really dont know how to cope with him.
Someone please give me some advice.
