You need to be very firm with him, and dont lose your cool. I'm sure your child does not need to see a psychologist, he just needs good old discipline. Use time outs, and not half-booty time outs, make sure he sits. If he gets up, put him back. After about 20 or so attempts he'll realize you are way bigger and he's not going to win. Remember that YOU are in charge, and make that clear to him. Also, don't forget to ley the luvin's on when he's being good. A hug goes a loooooooooong way. Good luck!

Well, according to the responses I got on a question I asked about child discipline, you should whoop him into shape with some spankings. (in case you can't read my sarcasm, I completely disagree with that)
If you ask me - it's his age. He's testing his limits. Be firm and be specific and do NOT back down. Provide him with choices that YOU approve of. If he wants X but you only want him to have/do A or B, then you say "choose this or this. If you do not choose right now, I will choose for you"
There's a lot more to this -- way too much to answer in this type of forum. I urge you to speak with your pediatrician for ideas and also - you'll find plenty of stuff on the net.

You should go old school and give him a spankings. Thats the problem with the world now days...we are more concerned with making our children into little people, than making them mind an learn the fact that life is not about YOU. We wonder why kids run over their parents.

You need someone else to come around and make him mind, I believe he is being deviant against you right now because he feels he can. Have someone else discipline and see how he is. Good Luck that can be really bad to not be able to control a child for behavior problems, you will get through this.

When he starts acting up, put him in a time out chair, if he hits you or throws things at you then take his favorite toy away and put in eyesight, but can't reach it. Tell him when he can behave then you will sit down and talk to him about his behavior and maybe get his toy back. The time out chair works great. Good Luck!!!

Ha!! Welcome to the club. I was actually glad to see your question, as now I know I'm not alone!!
I can sometimes talk some sense into my little one (4 in November), by trying to talk to him and finding out what's buggin him, but not usually. I usually have to threaten putting toys in the cupboard, sending him to 'time out', then going to talk to him afterwords and letting him know I don't like it when we fight, and ask him if he likes it. He usually says no, then after some coaxing will do as I ask. Patience is certainly a virtue at this age!! What the heck were terrible twos all about??? Why isn't there a warning saying for the f*cked up fours??? LOL!!

start putting him in time out maybe he will start minding a little better. You may even try bribing him. My sister has given her two kids chores and if they do them they get a rock and if they get all their rocks they get a toy. it seems to work because she has a 5 and 3 year old.

A child is as bad as the parent who allows him to be that way.
Who is the parent? You or your child?
He has to do what you tell him.
Blister his butt. Take away all his toys and priviledges.
Be the parent. You are the one in charge.

what u do is find a place in your home, put him their for time out. get down to his level. tell him he has to stay their. for three mins if he gets up don't say anything to him put him back. keep doing it until he gets it. when he stay their and u go back and get him. make sure u tell him what he did wrong and that not right and Little's boys don't act like that. them tell him to say sorry to u.but make sure u are at his level at all times. don't yell at him keep a low voice. yelling won't get u anywhere, that just stressing u out and hes getting what he wants. stick to yours guns and don't give in. good luck.

sounds like you need a trip to a child psychologist to work on those behaviors.
