My son is 5 years old, he is in preschool with 8 other boys. Sometimes I have a "good" son, other times i have a "bad" or "mean" son (what we call him). For me, is is simply a matter of battling for power I think. When he is not listening I want him to stop, stop talking, or doing whatever he is doing, and he simply refuses, he will keep talking over what i am trying to say to him. Never a tantrum, just bad behavior, and it is frustrating. Now with my husband my son gets crazy. He can be good all day and when my husband walks in my son gets wild, and plays really rough with my husband, punching and hitting. Even when my husband tells him to stop, even when he gets very mad at him. And sometimes my son just laughs. I have my own way of controlling my son when I am with him, and I stay calm while doing it. My husband cant seem to find anyway to control our son. My mom even notices the behavior, she said he turned into a "monster" once daddy came home, and sometimes it is embarrassing. My husband does work alot, but our son ADORES him, imitates him, and cries when he isnt home. Yet he isnt very good for him when they get to spend one on one time together-I just dont get it. Then it turns into a fight. Most kids his age are better for their dad's then their mom's. So why is my little guy to crazy? We dont hit our son, punishment is usually taking something away that he likes, or sending him to his room. Can Anyone give me any advice how to steer his behavior away from this craziness? When he is with Dad he could literally be mistaken for a child that suffers from ADHD-and he does not have that. HELP! thank you....
