my children and 3 and 6 years and generally they are well behaved. When they are naughty i do shout and tell then why they have been naughty and why mummy is upset and they shouldn't do it again.This normally is enough to make them realise and say sorry . But lately my 6 year old is testing his boundaries, he never's listens and I mean never. I will ask him nicely to do something, then again more firmly but in the end I end up shouting like a mad women because he is so frustrating as he seems to do the complete opposite. I think i get angry even more for him making me shout i don't want to shout at him all the time.i do try to make things into a game like the first person to tidy up or get to the top of the stairs for bed but even that is having no effect on him.
