4 year old son

4 year old son

Hi! First post here so please be gentle.

Basically I have a 4 year old son, and he's just discovering that he can be naughty.

He's taken to grabbing my glasses from my face and running off with them, taking much joy from doing so and the disress it causes me.

Any suggestions on how I can stop this.

Hey Suzy,
He won't stop until you lay down some rules and follow-through.  Tell him "I'm giving you a warning, the next time you take mommy's glasses you will be put into time-out."  

If he does it again follow-through by putting him in time-out (a place away from the tv, toys or anything else he may find pleasure in) and make him stay there for 4 minutes.  When he is done, ask him to apologize for not listening to you and tell him he'll be put back into timeout if he does it again.  He'll get the point sooner or later, but you must stay CONSISTENT.  Good luck!
