I have 3 kids ds 6.. dd 4.. ds 2. Daughter is perfect, listens, occasional 2 minute tantrums but nothing that can't be talked about and resolved which makes me think I have a nature not nurture issue.
The eldest is loud but is overly sensitive to loud noises (lots of people talking in one area), dosnt listen, calls us names, stays up late mucking about with younger brother, dosnt matter how many times we talk, shout makes no difference. You try and tell him off and he constantly back chats. He dosnt get his own way he has a meltdown, screaming, shouting, banging his door.
Now the youngest copies him, tips our flisat table over, dosnt listen, everything's a battle.
I've had enough of the eldest behaviour and I have no idea how to help him. He goes from 0 to 100 in seconds and then back to loving so quickly. Hes a lovely lad but there is a side of him I can't seem to help him change.
I need to help my 6 year old in order to stop the youngest who is easily influenced.
