[quote=Anonymous]Please help. My son is 4 (turned 4 in June). My son is lovely at school: M-W, 9-12. He's a good friend, model student. Zero issues. I know home is a safe space, so he acts out. But our home is unpleasant now. At home: ~Rarely listens. If ever. "Please don't turn off the light". He turns off the light. LOTS of "But I want..." xyx ~Screams. A LOT. ~Can't follow basic instructions: please go play while I cook. He'll fuss, bother his brother, etc. I'm not sure what consequences to put in place. It isn't any one thing. It is just that he isn't easy, at all. He's emotional and anxious, rarely plays by himself or is pleasant. Our word is "fuss": he fusses a lot. I was a teacher. I KNOW the keys, but which one works??? So many schools of thought. I don't always have time for the games, like in "How to Talk so Kids will Listen". Peaceful Parenting seems too lax for him. HELP. And be kind. :) [/quote]
