ok I am looking for your ladies great wisdom.
I've never had to deal with a child so stubborn and honestly BRATTY!!!!
it's my own ds. I've mentioned before that I have been working on it but nothing seems to work with him. Even my husband is at a loss as to how to deal with it.
Nothing works!
he is 3 yrs old (almost 3 1/2) and everytime he gets heck for a bad behavior (which is VERY OFTEN) or if we have to say NO or don't do that, or not right now, or any other form of a NO, instantly, it's the pout, deep breathing, then complete breakdown. He will drop to the floor kicking and crying, he will throw something, he will kick something, sometimes he'll storm off to his room, etc. when he calms down we talk to him, my husband even started spanking him as soon as the tantrum starts (we don't spank, unless it's the last straw). I don't want any slack for spanking our child, that is not what I am asking about!
he's been doing this since he was about 1 1/2- 2 yo and usually they figure out that they don't get what they want, they just get in trouble and lose a privilege like treat after supper, or have to go to bed early, or whatever the case is and stop doing it. They grow out of the tantrums once they realize it gets them nowhere. But not with him
Once again, we have NEVER given in to his tantrums, and ignore them the best we can, but sometimes we can't ignore it. Now he's even started throwing himself so hard on the floor or backwards he hits his head. Then he cries because he whacked his head.
He is sneaky too. Always quiet and sneaking and doing this he shouldn't, like helping himself to stuff in the fridge, cupboards, my bedroom, or he'll sneak outside to ride his bike.
I am desperate to end this charade, and next to a good spanking (which I don't do because they just laugh when I spank them), I don't know what else to do. Time outs sort of work, for about 5 minutes then back to bad behavior.
I realize part of it might be that he's acting out for attention (being that I have the daycare). But my kids are not upset about the daycare. They love having the friends come everyday, they love the things we get to do because of it. And he's been accustomed to the daycare his whole life so it's not like it's new. he doesn't have to share any of HIS toys or anything.
