Feeling really stress my son is 4 1/2 yrs old n I promise this Lil boy is so hard headed he bearly listens to me which…

:)

Ta-daaaa!!! I've been there mama. Lol. Love it.

@kimberlyyyy_the-preemie-mom 👍 u just read my mind exactly what I just did!!!

Ask him if he misses daddy and give him an activity to do to keep him busy and not crabby. Lol. Have him draw a picture for when dad gets home, or some other kind of craft. It will keep him mellow-ish for a minute and you can relax too. 👍🏼

Thanks @kimberlyyyy_the-preemie-mom & @mrs.collins I'm gonna give both of those advice a try thanks a million he's usually a gd kid just think he's missing his dad n lashing out at me which is taking a total on me been having headaches n stomach pressure..

Unpopular opinion, when my son didn't respond to toys being taken away, time out, swats on the hand, verbal reprimand I eventually tried gentle swats on the butt and then explaining why he was spanked/what he did and how to not do that again. Not full blown spanking but eventually that made a difference. It's not for everyone. I don't think that should ever be someone's go-to form of discipline but I feel some kids "need" it. I feel like 4 year olds should have a good idea of right vs wrong- my son did. I was worried about how my son would respond to a baby in the house but I kept him involved with the pregnancy as much as I could and told him when baby was kicking and stuff so he had an instant connection with his baby brother so making sure you're including your son in the pregnancy and still doing fun activities with him should help with his attitude too. Something that is SO hard for me is remembering my big kid is still a kid. I expected a lot of him at an early age and it was hard for me to remember that he was (and still is) young. At 4 it's still hard for children to express their feelings so meltdowns happen often. I had to help my son "figure out" his emotions by asking him "are you mad hunny?" And then it would help figure out WHY he was mad and why he wouldn't listen (usually because he wanted his way and couldn't communicate it). It's a lot of work raising a mini man! Those f**king fours suck, but things will get better. Remember to breathe! Sorry for the super long comment!

I'd be repetitive on sticking his nose in the corner until he stays.. Whether he cries and throws a fit on the floor or not.. If he gets up grab him and keep doing it until he gets worn out from trying to leave.. Its hard but it works .. Tough love..
