Question

i have spanked, taken away toys, priveldges and outings...and he just wont listen at all. and he thinks it funny.

i dont know what to do anymore...any ideas?

Answer 1

tell him no  and if he cries lock him in aroom until he stops crying

Answer 2

Lay down the rules.. sit down with him/her and ask what is wrong if attuitude is provided slightly hit him. or my best way is to think if you are spending enough time with your son and sit down and ask him whats wrong. remember even the littlest things can bother them

i hoped i helped.

Answer 3

take away some privledges.. like tv or computer. or games or wat ever till he listens.

Answer 4

I know it's hard when it seems your child isn't listening. I have a 14.5 month old who sometimes doesn't listen but I've found that I have to get down to his level and make eye contact with him and then talk to him. Sometimes it seems like he's in his own little world and I have to first get his attention for him to listen. That's really the only thing that works for me right now. I won't put my child in time out until he is older than 4. I will "punish" him but it will be age appropriate.

Hopefully you will be able to find something that works for you.

Answer 5

Girl its time to go out and buy the supernanny book and pull out the naughty step/corner/bench. whatever suits to what you have

Give a warning, and if they continue you put him on the naughty step come down to his level and let him know why he was placed on the naughty bench. And he stays there for every year of his life. i.e if his 3 he will stay on there for 3 minutes. Yes he will get off and give you the run around but that i because you are breaking in a new routine and persistence is the key. If you give up the first time he will know he can run rings around you.

Answer 6

quit feeding him

Answer 7

Sit him on the couch with no toys or television.  And make him sit there.

Answer 8

try  a   naughty    chair   let    him   know  everytime  he    does something  he  will  have  to  sit  there

Answer 9

find a chair or spot call the notty spot and put him there for three mintues and make him sit there if he gets up put him back with out saying anything to him it may take a long while but dont give up or get frusterated it will work once he sits there for three minutes get to his level and explain to him what he did wrong and why he is in trouble and than have him tell you he is sorry give him a hug and tell him you love him and  than just keep doing it he will eventually start to listen once it gets off track it takes awhile to get back on

try a chart when he does good give him praise and reward him with a sticker and once he gets like say 5 stickers give him a prize once he does wrong take the sticker away

but remember pick your battles dont use this for everything and when talking to him only discuss like you werent listening but put him on the notty spot a min for each age

Answer 10

Make a corner 'isloated' so he can't see or touch anything and have him stand in the corner when he won't 'listen' to you, your husband, or his gramma.  He's only three so put him there for only 30 seconds the first time, and HOLD HIM standing with his arms at his sides, and tell him not to cry or talk while he's being 'punished.'  The second time, hold him for 30 seconds but make him stand there for a minutes.  Add 15 seconds every time he 'acts out' and doesn't listen ... it may take two or three weeks, but his behavior should start to improve ... standing in a corner with your hands at your sides is BORING, so he'll learn not to do the things that get him put into the corner.  BOREDOM is the best 'cure' for any misbehavior in a child, and DO NOT 'explain' other than telling him that he's NOT LISTENING ... or doing something else bad (if it's something else, that has it's own 'time-line' but it's best if you use this for ONE type of misbehavior at a time.
