Could anyone please, please, please give me some strategies/advice on how to deal with a 3yr old who never listens! His language is very advanced and his brother has austism and he's pushing boundaries

can you give some examples of what he does?

HelenH79 · 01/11/2010 21:16

He'll do something like hurl himself of the bed and I'll tell him to stop so he laughs at me and does it again! You tell him to sit on the step so he sits on the floor. We do rewards but when he gets what he wants he's back to his old tricks again! Confused

do you use naughty chair / step, counting to 3, warnings etc? sounds like he needs a deterent as there is too much fun to be gained by being naughty!!!

Yeah and he laughs at me!

hmmm - maybe a new approach is needed - someone recommended a book called 123 magic which i am going to try - but my son hates the naughty chair which is something.
