SUBJECT: 5 year old son, i'm at the end of my rope
We are a military family, living in what we call a "prison." Though there are groups for us to go to, they just don't help me son. Since his dad's deployment, my son doesn't think he needs to listen to a thing i say. I have been to "Love and Logic" parenting and their little "uh oh" song, makes my son laugh at me. He won't clean his room. He won't go to bed. Infact it is 12:15 p.m. now, and he is still up. I just don't know what to do anymore. I have 2 younger son's and I spend so much time arguing with my 5 year old, that the other's dont get that much attention. Taking toys away, and taking t.v. and family fun activities away, doesn't matter to him. How am I too get this 5 year old to help out around the house, and keep my mind on check.
