My son is OUT OF CONTROL!! Please help me!
Posted Mon, 10/12/2009 - 17:00 — CindyKI don't even know where to begin my 3 year old son is out of control he throws big tantrums daily if he does not get what he wants he will throw a fit, and by fits i mean he screams and will throw himself to the ground he will throw anything he can get his hands on, he dumps out food or drink if he can find it, he throws his toys and he has started to hit me. he even throws fits at times when he does get what he wants. If he gets frustrated he starts throwing a fit. I don't know what to do!! Please help, i am in tears because now problems are starting between my husband and I because of the way my son acts. He does not listen to ANYTHING i say, when i say no he does not listen. When i try and put him in a chair for time out i have to sit there and hold him cuz he wont stay and he screams so loud and he tries pinching me and smacking me
as for your husband and you, i know it is hard to raise a child and it often leads to tencion and fites. BUt you both need to remember that you love eachother as well as your son. And even though you get fustrated with your son and Im sure your husband does to. You can not take it out on eachother. Maybe you guys need some time for just the two of oyu. THis way you guys can reconnect and realize how much you guys love eachother. Forming the united front is always the best way to handle any situation.
I am very sorry to hear about your son acting up. And I am also very sorry to hear that, that has affected you and your husbands relationship. My daughter throws tantrums to, not to bad tho. She is still in a crib, so when she acts up I will put her for a time out if she will nt sit for a time out i will put her in her crib without any toys, without the t.v. on. Just leave her in her crib for her time out. she normally ends up falling a sleep. But she crys. Now honestly if my daughter tried to hit me I would hit her hand and tell her no.. and keep it up until she stops. letting her know that I am the adult and that she will not hit me. If you do not have a crib for him anymore maybe you can get a booster chair. It snaps onto a chair and you snap your child into it. This way he has to sit and stay until you are ready for him to come up.
