Children: One boy, Bradley
Default Re: out of control

I have two thoughts...

For one, I wouldn't listen to screaming or demands made by him. I didn't start raising Bradley until he was 2 years old, so I'm not sure how far off maturity wise Oliver is, but at 2...Bradley was old enough to start learning he couldn't be throw a tantrum about things and get his way.

I always think it's important to tell kids no from time to time - they need to learn, and get used to, disappointment. That way, when they don't get their way....they know it's not the end of the world.

And lastly...are you spending a lot of quality time with him? He sounds like a kid whose acting out because that's the only way he can get attention. Just because you're "with" him doesn't mean your giving him the attention and fun that he needs.

Just my thoughts! :-)
