Does anyone have else find their child becomes really difficult as term progresses? It seems for my nearly 10 year old ds, he is harder to handle at the weekends the more strict his teacher mid week is. He is perfect at school and very intelligent. He loves after school activities too but by the weekend he shouts and screams and refuses to go anywhere even if it is to go places for children or to buy him things .He is ruining our family weekends and I don't want to give in and always stay home. Although that is exactly what I have given in to do today although he has to stay in his room. It's not fair on the family as a whole but I can't get through and I don't want to be having all this stress at the weekends.
