Hi All:
I dont know if we are expecting too much from my 4 and half yr old son, but it seems more and more frequently he does not listen and intentionally do things he know he is not suppose to do (ie. walking around when he suppose to be at the dinner table eating dinner for no reason other than trying to annoy us, 90% of the time is nothing too major)
my wife believes children can be taught by using absolute force and authority (some times she is making me feeling that way) Thus a some times she will try to make her point by screaming at my son, lately my son has learned to talked about , not sure he picked that up from school or somewhere with be two letter word NO, or something like “don’t talk to me like this”
of course sometimes I get agitated with their behavior, I would join them as the 3rd lion of the pack unavoidably because my son would usually run to whoever is not scream at the time, I got into because I feel like have to take one side , and by that time nobody listens to anything anybody said and the whole original point was missed and we start over again next time.
some times I failed into the same habits (though I think should be less frequent but none less I am in) trying to make my point with my son, the end result often being my son crying and my wife ask whats going on and I always being the one to blame on his teas
I know that we should not scream and I think we all do, is this normal behavior for a 4 year old that going thought another “terrible 2” type of change over ?
we also have a little 6 month, she sometimes got scared but some times not maybe she is used to it,
please help thanks
