Thanks, I will check out that book. I will admit I'm the soft type of parent, I love my son very much and he's really not a bad kid, so I don't think I've ever raised my voice at him and I rarely say no. I mean, we can go out to restaurant and have a meal with him, he's traveled on an airplane 4 times already and it wasn't too bad, I don't worry he's going to have a meltdown in the middle of Target (and if he starts getting cranky he's easily distracted by something pulled off of the shelf and than handed back to the cashier). I think that because he doesn't throw tantrums and is easily distracted away from what he's doing, I've let some other  bad behaviors go. [/quote]

Oh, my God!  OP, you're kid's not "bad."  Dr. Brazelton is like Mr. Rogers for pediatrics:

OP, please get yourself on an anti-depressant to help with your anxiety.  You are in need of help.  (Really your kid is fine.)[/quote]
