Our DS (5 in December) is making feel so miserable . He's an energic, intelligent little boy but since his brother came along two years' ago he changed into a complete nightmare. Anyway he has been through pre-school and nursery with the same behaviour. Not listening, sometimes very energetic. Hitting or pushing other children. Throwing has been a huge problem since he was about 7 months old. We had him assessed for ADHD and told he didn't have it. Just very challenging child. He;s just started school and even after day 3 I was told his behaviour was appalling. Pushing other children queuing up. Rude - rolls his eyes and huffs when told off. Scratched a little girl's face who he was arguing with the other day because he wanted to be front of the queue. And today got told he wouldn't queue up for lunch - said "No dont want to". He is very intelligent we have been told and very bright but his rude behaviour is driving me mad. We tell him all the time. Have had the naughty step, pasta jar and sticker chart but it doesn't last for long and then his behaviour gets bad again. I really dont know what to do. I just want to cry. DH doesn't really understand. Just says he's a confident boy and we shouldn't knock his confidence! Great eh - what do DH's really know! Please help. DS2 is going that way too. What am I doing wrong?
