Angry 5 yr old

[bmthgirl]

My 5 yr old son is an only child and constantly seems angry at the slightest thing,telling me he hates me a lot.(he has onl just turned 5)He never used to say stuff like this before he started school.He has also taken to keep calling me for on some occassions every 2-3 mins for an hour and a half when he has been put to bed.I feel like a yoyo but when i try and refuse to come i end up feeling bad and he starts throwing a tantrum and will just get out of his bed.He is always trying to play me n his dad off against each other.Does anyone else have these problems or can offer some advice?!

my 6yo DS often gets angry over the slightest thing. He is very stubborn and the slightest thing can set him off in to a bad mood. He does appear to be growing out of it slowly. It started when he was 2 so its about time he grew out of it!
The only advice I can offer is set the rules and stick to them. Its hard to stick to them but its for the best. Don't feel bad, he probably throws a tantrum because he knows you will come. I know its alot easier said than done but he will learn.
