My son is 6 1/2... he is a great kid. He is extremely smart, he does very well in school... academically. However, on almost every single report card and progress report there is a comment about excessive talking, not staying on task, and getting out of his seat.
My other issue is when he is at home. Almost every single thing I ask him to do, I have to repeat myself 2-5 times. Sometimes he just waits until I get mad and yell, and then he will do it. Even sometimes, he just leaves the room and continues to do something else. I feel like he doesn't take me seriously, and I also feel like he might be starting to resent me for always getting mad at him. I do not want to lose control, but I feel like I already have.
How do I get back the control? And please address the first paragraph as well.
