Temper Tantrum
My boyfriend has an almost four year old son from and previous relationship. His son lives eight hours away in another state. He's been here with his dad, me and our 14 month old son for a month now. He is awful, never listens to anyone, runs around in a restaurant/stores, hits people including our 14 month old, etc. Anyways my concern is, since he's been here and has been around our son, my son is seeing how he's acting and starting to act the same way. How can I break my son from this bad behavior? I need help! TIA!(:
Oh dear I am.managing the same now but they are my kids and every time they come home from their dads house they act like total brats.
This is hard your step son is figuring out how to use the system as I say. So I take away things from my daughter and my son when they act that way. They get the corner and laat resort they get a spanking.
We also have a reward system that works wonders! Basically go buy some of those raffle tickets from the dollar store and make aure he has a bucket to store them in. For every thing he does right or of he helps out around the house award him with a ticket.
On the contrary if he does something bad you take it away. (If you think about thats what they do to us adults!)
The reward: at the end of the week if they have a certain amount of tickets they get to pick out a toy or experience ie chucky e cheese. Or whatever your step son is into.
I really hope this helps. Blended families can work I promise we are great example of that!

He won't listen at all. Me, his dad, his grandma, everyone has tried to correct him and he just yells and hits.
I talk with my children, telling them what's wrong and what's right, using explainations and talking to them in an adult voice but with words and themes they can understand. Everyone compliments their behavior...they have picked up habits and I just have to correct them by guidance...
So, with your stepson, he's old enough to have a good conversation. With a baby, I just use smaller words and gentle but firm redirection.
Explain the rules at your house to your stepson. It's not his fault that he doesn't know the rules at your house. His mother may have a different perception on rules, which isn't necessarily bad or wrong, it is simply different...holding on to anger will just make the situation worse.
