Hi. Can anyone give me some examples of how their four year old boy acted at this age? My son is about 4 and a half, and he has changed into a little mad-man, I think! I am so worried that he will be screwed up mentally, you know? He throws horrible tantrums a lot, especially if I have to get him up in the mornings. He has been in the classroom with children who are five or so, and he starts Pre-K next week.. I feel like such a horrible parent because I don' t know what is right and wrong, or what is "normal" for his age, and what is downright disobeying and mean!! I wonder if he respects me at all. I yell at him sometimes (which does not phase him..) and/or I'll spank him on the butt (which sometimes, he will laugh at me while I spank!!) Don't get me wrong, I don't abuse my baby boy, but I'm at a loss right now. My husband is the "strict" one. I guess I'm just basically asking anyone who has experience with a preschooler to give advice and tell me if what my son is doing is normal.
