| I have 3 very hyper boys here. My 6 year old is really on my very last nerve...he likes to have his way all the time and not sure what to do any more. He is always hitting his older brother and fighting with him. Tried taking away things, even tried time outs....nothing is working....What can I do?? |

I think boys are very territorial and they try to establish their position within the family. So help him define his "territory", what he is allow or no allow to do.
If he takes a toys it is probably because he wants attention from his brother (that is what my son does to the other) so you can explain him that if he wants something from someone he has to be nice to him and wait his turn with the toy.
The more you get upset at him the more he thinks he is loosing "ground".
Just reassure him that he has your attention and he does not need to act up.

| Thank you....I will definitely try doing that. He can just be so stubborn at times that I just have to talk to someone. With it just being me i have no one to talk to about the boys. Thank you again for the help. |

I have 3 very hyper boys too, they are 2, 4 and 6 so I know what you are going through. I was having trouble with my 6 year old too and I read that at this age they really need stimulation so what I did is buy him some legos, he loves them and can sit and work on them for 45 minutes without a peep. I also make sure his brothers are not allowed to bother him and try to keep them out of his hair.
Thanks for sharing your story, it is nice to know we are not alone. How old are your other children. |
