My DS almost 10 years old has started being really difficult. He will argue about anything and everything. If I need to pop out, he kicks off. The same applies to almost everything else - ask him to take a shower, bring his plate out, time for bed. He gets quite a lot of time to do what he wants but he will not accept sometimes other people have things to do. There is definitely an element of wanting to set his own boundaries. Recently bed times have been a nightmare. He will come down and say he is scared, needs a drink, one last hug, my pillow is too hard/ soft, too hot, too cold, feel sick. I have got to the point where I am convinced he just does it to try and get a reaction. I am out of patience with him as is his dad. There have been some shouting matches, lost the PlayStation etc. have tried talking to him during the day when he is a bit calmer but I am at a loss what to do. I keep thinking it’s a phase but it doesn’t seem to get any better. Any suggestions? Help!
