 | #1 It must be realy hard to be a single mother. Was he spoiled when he was younger due to being the only child? Has it just been the two of you since he was a little baby? IF so maybe these are some of the reasons He is saying these things to you. Just something to think about, then again i'm not a specialist, just a mom of three and all under the age of now five my son turned five today well now its morning, yikes got to go to bed. :) I say this about spoiled because i have a hard time some what with my boy getting him to listen to me a lot of times b/c he was so spoiled before the other two came along of course he was my only one for 2 1/2 yrs so he was sspoiled and heavily. It shows!!! GOD LOVE HIM.
Now every parent will have there own opinion on spanking, i though dont believe in resorting to spanking unless its the absolute last andfinal resort. After trying everything and i mean all things is how i am, and so far what does work for me is taking away precious things of my sons. Like his bike he loves it, the outdoors can't keep him inside, only when he is grounded for a while and let me tell you he learns most of the time from these types of punishments and yes he tests me b/c i'm much easier on him then daddy is. Daddy dont give as many chances me I do. and That is not good and were working on this together, we learn as we go. Consistency is the biggest thing to make a child mind as well, if you take something away mabye a video game or whatever then for as long as he was told to lose it stick to it no matter what. It will work trust me, the spanking no, dont please, but your the mom not me. Just all the research out there proves its no good. That is why i say please dont.
Take care and hope i helped you. Christina~ |
