[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have worked with kids like this. People behave in certain ways for reasons. If he isn’t doing this at school then you know it is in his control. I would have him see a behavioral therapist with you. While you are waiting for this appointment, I would dress him in clothes that are hard to take off quickly, like overalls with no fly. I would sit him down and explain that since you can’t trust him, he has to stay only in parts of the house with no carpet, like the kitchen, and I’d only let him sit on hard plastic furniture.

You need to seek couples counseling with your husband, and I would bet that this behavior is rooted in your son’s feelings about his parents. [/quote]

This behavior is rooted in a spoiled child laughing at his parents. It’s that simple stop over diagnosing this!  He knows what he’s doing!  [/quote]

Imagine being 4 years old and not spending much time with your parents all week, then finally it’s the weekend and you think yay… but then mom goes to work and dad says he’d rather nap in the middle of the day than actually spend any time with you. I might pee on a couch too![/quote]

Oh please. Many of us didn’t spend hours of fun time with our parents on the weekends and we didn’t pee on couches.

Op you never mentioned if he gets consequences besides having to clean up. I would implement a time out or have him do a non preferred task. If he can control it at school and grandma’s house then he’s definitely playing you because he CAN.

Kids are smarter than you think. And I don’t buy the line that kids only misbehave when theyre trying to communicate a need.

Sometimes that’s true, yes, but they’re designed to push boundaries and it’s your job to draw and hold those boundaries. If you don’t get this under control he WILL start doing this at school when he smells weakness.[/quote]
