or if im gonna go out..ill be like in ten minutes we will leave so take care of ur business so u are ready. or at park i start ten minutes till going home...five...three..ok.

another one that was important to me is avoiding triggers. like with my kids they always listened to me better if i gave them transitional times. for example. i will be driving home. before i park i start telling them i want them to get ready to get out. to visually locate their backpacks or bags and to be ready to remove them...put them away when at home and to take a shower. ect...

also when child is happy giving lotz of love. talking about feelings...teaching empathy....will promote a tool u can later use to reason with them. simply by reminding them how bad it feels when someone doesnt consider ur feelings.

@yummycake that makes sense thank you

my parenting teacher said that dificcult children tend to escalate fights...so ignoring...and saying when ur ready to make better choices ill be here to listen. the child has to apologise for wrong behavior. ignoring walking away works. my own child use to throw 23 tantrums a day....and this technique changed it into seven a week. ignore and then educate and hug. unconditional love with boundaries. i really hope it works for u. dont lecture when xhild is confrontational. dont feed the fire.

Yea my niece hates to be ignored so I do it and then she says sorry

I'll give it a try

Well I haven't exactly ignored him usually I yell at him or timeout or spank something like that he thinks its funny

Dang umm try leaving him alone and ignoring him and say if you hit mommy mommy won't play

@mommmyof1 he thinks it's a game when I do that to him it don't work

Sorry that didn't come out right he laughs and hits me harder

Like I said I've tried spanking even though I don't like to only doesn't laugh and hit me even harder no matter what I do

My niece used to do it spank him I do my niece know not to hit and put in time out or try to catch his hands and smack those

I have it don't work

Try taking away some playtime so that he realizes hitting doesn't get him any thing nice.
