He's 7 years old and acts completely helpless. He won't find his own clothes, open his own can of pop, clean his own glasses, or even at least make himself a simple peanut butter sandwich. He has no disorders, he's a perfectly capable child, yet he acts like he's still 3. He doesn't do anything he's told, he doesn't listen to anyone, and he doesn't eat supper if it's not something he absolutely LOVES, yet still expects dessert. He wants everything good, and not to have to do anything by himself. When told to do something on his own, he runs to another person to make THEM do it. Nobody refuses all together, so he always has SOMEONE to do his bidding. How can I make this stop? When I was 7 I could do all this and more, and so could our big brother. Our big brother could even make brownies and cook noodles on the stove by the time he was 7! So I think little brother can learn these simple tasks. (He's very spoiled by our dad)
