IN REPLY TO: 3 Year old boy tantrums
AUTHOR: Amy4

I thank God that there is other parents out there with a child as wild as mine. My son will be 4 in Feburary. Everything I have read in this message and others posted in response sounds just like my Zachary. My son has become very sassy, and mouthy. He screams and has a bad attitude no matter who we are with or around. Infact last night I had to spank him (it stung my hand), and all he did was look at me and say, "that was funny". I get so frustrated and discouraged trying to discipline. I feel like all I do is spank and yell at my son. I too would like any suggestions that would help. I know someone mentioned ADHD, and ADD. Being a nurse myself, I asked my physician about that, and he said that this it typical behavior for a 3 yr old (obviously there is several of us responding to this). He stated that they usually don't like to start diagnosing kids with this until they are about 6 yrs of age and starting school. Good luck to everyone.
