I have to admit they say that the "terrible 2's"  are considered the worst age, well I do not concur with that statment. The age of 7 is by far the most diffcult in the growing relationship between my son and I. I must say this has been the most trying year of being a dicplinary in my son's life. He is constantly testing boundires, he has his voice and knows how to use it, not in terms of yelling but talking back, second guessing, and challenging everything I say. I am honestly at a crossroads here, I don't want to hit my son in any form, he doesn't take mom's stern voice seriously, and taking things away doesn't effect him. I keep putting him in the cornor but this does nothing. I am told to find something that he loves the most and use this to his advantage. There is not much this kid really "loves" and nothing faxes him. I mean he loves food but im not about to starve him for punishment... I jsut don't know what to do really, these are the times where a 2 parent house hold would be bennificial to a childs development, when he doesn't take me "serious" thats when parent #2 comes in and reinforces what #1 partent instructed.

  1. Sit him on the bed after homework with no tv no music no nothing. No sleeping. Just sit there. I know from experience that this helps kids listen to their parents. ♥
