[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op,

It sounds like you need some help.  Not therapy, but someone who can help ypu figure out how best to parent your child.  All children are different, and you need to find some alternatives that work for you.

I agree. I did work with a child psychologist for 4 months to learn how to better parent my kid, and made small changes each week until things were more manageable. Working with a professional helped in several ways - he was able to tell me that my kid really is as awesome as everyone else says he is, he gave me permission to try the things I knew I needed to try but was being told not to do by other people, and he was able to help me make small changes that weren't overwhelming.

Now, my 6 year old is still strong willed, still the most stubborn person I've ever met, but we have a good routine at home, and tantrums are an every other week thing now instead of every day. Life is calmer, we're happier, and my son is happy and relaxed. Working with the psychologist was the best thing I ever did. [/quote]
