Help with my son....?

Question

well i have 3 children and my middle son is really bad i think he does lot just for attention but i can't control him and he is only 5 he started kindergarten this year no problems there though and he is pretty good for others just not me. his father is in prison and will be for the next 6 years can someone help give me some clues on what to do

Answer 1

At the age of 5 he is able to sit down and talk to you.  teach him to talk about what is bothering him..  I'm sure your right he probably is out for attention.  If that's the case maybe he needs a little one on one time every now and then with mommy.  Try really hard to give him some of that attention he is craving and make it very clear that the bad behavior will not be tolerated(give a warning and then follow through with whatever punishment you choose).  But def make sure you spend some time with him.  Even if it's coloring for a few minutes while the other two play together or play a board game or something...Good luck!

Answer 2

The reason he acts like that because of the fact that his dad is in jail. I bet that's very bad for your son. He might not like the fact that his dad is out of the picture and spend times with him. The reason he does not act like that in school because he is too shy or too scared to do that to strangers. If he spends more time with his grandparents, you spend more time with him, he would be settled.

Part of reason why he act like that because he's only 5 and he might not understand half of thing what is going on with his dad. It's best to explain that his dad do something bad that he has to be someplace to make him behave. If your son still act like that, then  keep sending him to time out until he is calmed down and act nicer.

I hope that helps.

er.

childen tend to be bad to get attention. you are right.

you shoul dignore him. it odesnt matter what he does. just ignore him completely when his bad.

then when his good & actually listens to you, praise him and play with him and stuff.

but when his bad, do not. dont do anythign about it. leave him alone. dont even look at him. i saw a tv program on kids and thats what one of the mother was advised to do. if yer child is bad and wont stop, to get yer attention, dont talk to him or look at him or have any expression on yer face. just gnore him completely

then sooner or later, it may take time, but be patient. he is gonna realize that what he is doing isnt going to get him any attention and stop.

i hope it works!
