[quote=Anonymous]My nephew is a challenging kid.  My sister waited until he was close to 3 to get pregnant again because he was such a handful.  The baby was born when he was 3.5.  It was a rough start, but now he's 4 and things are MUCH smoother.  He was just a challenging kid.  Incredibly stubborn, incredibly sensitive, impervious to distraction and bribes.  He also had a lot of anxiety about certain social situations which made it tough to do things with him.  As he approached 4 he could see more reason, he could entertain himself better, he had a bit more patience when things didn't happen perfectly and he's better able to play with friends.  He will always be a challenging kid.  But ages 2 and 3 were incredibly hard for my sister.  4 has been light years better in terms of that leap in maturity he needed to appreciate a little delayed gratification.  Now he's happy most of the time, while still having His Weird Things that he throws fits about.  All in all, she had the 2nd baby at a great time bc now they are out of the newborn stage, her older one is doing great, and they are feeling awesome as a foursome.[/quote]
