My son will be 5 in May and I have 20 month old daughter as well. I feel so quilty and feel that I am always telling what not to do & to stop doing something. He doesn't listen! I ask him to repeat what I say and he'll say something completely different. I ask him to tell me when he doesn't understand. I explain things simply, I get down to his level, I take privledges away, I threaten a spanking, I show him what his actions can do, I try everything. Daddy comes in and with one word he'll act right. He does this only with me. He's start to act up with anyone else and it's like magic spell comes out of their mouths and he stops. I change the tone of my voice, I change the direction of the conversation, I ignor it, I show him what he should do instead. I hear oh he's just a boy, he's testing his limits, he'll be fine when he starts school. But they don't understand is that I can get him to concentrate on one thing. I can't relate to him and it's wearing me out. Any suggestions? PLEASE!!
