[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My son is exactly like this. He’s now 9, but we still have a lot of he same issues at home. I have learned that it’s not my parenting, but my kid. My daughter is not like this at all. She’s responsible and she listens. My son was born difficult. Some kids are easy and some are hard. You work with what you get. My son has sensory processing disorder. Probably a lot of his behaviors are related.[/quote]

Thank you. Yes, my second son is only 2.5 but he's very empathetic, easy going. It's difficult to not compare.

Any advice? He does not have SPD. [/quote]

We have used lots of different techniques over the years. Time outs, go to room, sticker charts in the toddler years, timers, and now we are using our own money system (fake money). We reward with dollars and also take away dollars. Nothing has stuck over the years but we certainly do try. He’s also a quirky kid with some repeltitice behaviors. He is also a highly anxious child.

We alternate between patience and loving but we also get frustrated and have yelled. He’s smart as a whip, though. No issues in school (knock on wood). A bit siorgnaized with materials, but very hard worker.[/quote]
