mothers with boys. Wild Rambunctious young boys. did i raise a brat?!! lol
I call it bossy but whatever, lol. Is it the age or being first born or maybe hanging around adults his whole life. He's very bossy and its so annoying. Hes mr. Know it all. Hes smart but he needs to remember hes 5 and not an adult. No matter how many times hes been told, had consequences forspeaking rudely, he still is a bossy little know it all that corrects everybody and tells them what to do.
Is this normal for his age? And were constantly telling him to settle down or sit down and relax. Hes so wild and constantly tests us. maybe hes acting out for attention since he has to now share it with the baby.
lol that sounds like my 5 year old dd. ds is 3 and is following closely in her footsteps...lord help us all lol
Tell him that its fine to express his opinion and to speak up if he thinks that what something that someone else said was wrong, but he needs to do it in a polite way, teach him the proper way to word it, and he needs to be able to admit when he was wrong and to let it go when it really doesn't matter.
It sounds like a possible mix of both. Being that there's a new bird in the nest and a little bit of "brat". Whatever it is that your using for punishment sounds like it's not working so well. What discipline methods have you used?
It sounds like he has a LOT of energy and a quick wit. Very smart chldren are just plain annoying to some adults because they do not understand how the other people feel always being told what to do or that they are wrong. It is time to do some instruction about how to say things. Also- he is only 5, but is confident and curious and well, very smart. When they are five and the first one, they see themselves as equals to adults- they do not understand. Many intellectually gifted children are absolutely AMAZED by what they know, because they do not understand how they know it. The do not trust the adults knowlege and they trust their own more. You will have to help him to understand other people, because they will not be able to understand him. Have fun- I had three very gifted kids and they are all smarter than me. But as little children, they all tested me bc they thought they were smarter.
When should I potty train her?
