Over the past few months my (just turned 6 year old) has transformed from angelic to demonic. We never had terrible 2,3 etc… he’s always been so kind and respectful. His behaviour at school is still good, but at home it explodes. He seems worse with mum than he is me, but he tells us to shut up a lot, ignoring rules he used to follow (eg restaurant ettiquate) and if he doesn’t like what we’re asking he will say ‘I’m not listening’ and just stare into space as if there’s no-one home… we’ve tried soft, understanding and talking. We’ve tried telling offs, we’ve tried confiscation
nothing seems to work…
is this normal for a 6 year old or have we got ourselves a Damien!?
