My five year old son has recently started this attitude thing. He is constantly mouthing off and is totally rude. He gets angry in a split second. At school he is an angel and I get nothing but good reports, but we aren't even to the car after picking him up and he starts running his mouth. When I punish him he doesn't take it as a readjustment for him, he just yells at me saying I'm a bad mom for disiplining him. I've taken away TV time and favorite toys for periods of time. I try to reason with him what his actions and words really mean. Still no luck. He acts as though he is the boss and that how dare I anger HIM. Is this a common phase for 5 year old boys, or is there some underlining issues I need to deal with for him? Help Help Help!
