[quote=Anonymous]How much screen time does he get? How is his sleep? Diet? Does he get enough activity/exercise/stimulation? For my 9 year old son who has been getting an attitude like this lately, if we cut back on screens, get him to bed earlier, get him eating healthier, sign him up for more extracurricular activities and make sure he gets plenty of outdoors time running around every day, his behavior is SO much better. It is no surprise that this is the case and ideally, we'd always do these measures w/ our kids anyway but when family life gets busy, it's easy to start slipping up and allowing more screens, relying on easy but less healthy foods, and not getting to bed on time. I also agree w/ PPs about spending lots of 1-1 time w/ him if you can. Our kids [i]always[/i] have better behavior when they've gotten that attention and time to feel truly seen and heard by us.[/quote]
