My DS2 is 2.9 and a very demanding child who is forceful, loud and prone to rages. DS1 was not at all like this and was very easy to manage - he hated being told off and was and is rarely naughty. I have spent the past 2 years unsuccessfully managing his behaviour and wanted some advice.
He is beginning to care more about being told off and when at home we use the naughty step. However, when we are out I don't really know where to go with telling off. If I tell him not to do something he will continue. He has massive tantrums at preschool when I drop him off and blows raspberries in the faces of the adults who try to help. I tell him off and try to get him to say sorry but if he doesn't I don't know what to do. I really want to nip this behaviour in the bud - particularly the spitting and shouting he does. I just don't know what to do when he doesn't stop. Threats about taking toys away etc don't work as they are not immediate enough for him. He will behave if I offer him a treat if he does (I do this when I am desperate) but it's not the way I want to go.
Does anyone have any advice?
Thanks
