Then, he turned 3. I don't know whether to get a psychologist or an Exorcist. He has been a total, oppositional nightmare. Good thing he's super cute or I'd be looking to trade him in. ;-)<br /><br />You took the time to speak with your son and that makes all the difference. Sounds like you're doing a terrific job to me.

Timeouts are a weird thing, sometimes they work and sometimes they don't. Talking works sometimes and sometimes it doesnt. What is good about this situation is that he was actually listening. <br /><br />my only advice and its from my own experience and trust me its hard even now not to do this. Do not try to talk to your child mid tantrum. They are irrational beings and as one knows you can not have a rational meaningful discussion with a person who is irrational. I have tried to talk my daughter down when unacceptable behaviour happens it doesnt work until she is calm and in a listening mood.NYC Single Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12946047820242947548noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6031615612874115797.post-53453425280274010222010-11-10T21:54:07.834-05:002010-11-10T21:54:07.834-05:00Omg!

Oh the wonders of talking, I think it's really important to keep the floodgates open for communication even if lil man is only 3.Alexandra Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07757839708628559651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6031615612874115797.post-61367717126941679912010-11-10T00:56:53.780-05:002010-11-10T00:56:53.780-05:00My nephew was into the raspberry thing around the ...My nephew was into the raspberry thing around the same age and I've taken my brother's que and as soon as he does something inappropriate I check right there so there's no room to say he was confused. I think you did a great job taking your time and then sitting down talking to him on such a level! Great Job Aiden!<br /><br />P.S.
