Hello I have a 4 year old son with an inconsistent and selected reign of terror (e.g school and sometimes with me, not with other friends or family members). At the age of two he was suspended from daycare. He held it together for a little while at his next daycare but eventually had major melt downs. Entering Pre-K was smooth until around the second month. One day out of nowhere, I get this cumulative report of all the things he had done wrong. I made changes in me thinking I was the culprit. I have implemented behavior mods, rewards, social praise,...the gammut. It's mostly a temporary fix. My son is extremely bright. So I figured he was bored and wasn't challenged enough...un ahn! that wasn't it. The teacher at daycare recognized his potential and often gave him work for first graders. He was only 3! I also work with him at home. So go figure! I just need a clue. I know I am not the only one in the world but I am the only one in his class this is one of the reasons why I feel frustrated. Sometimes I want a do over. Can someone offer advice besides meds.

hello. My name is Max Stengel. Im 15. You prolly dont get alot of messages from the kids themselves. I live a pretty good life but i need some help. I live with my Mom, dad, aunt and my younger brother. My brother is 9. He has ADHD, Anger management, and Bi polar. He is really bad. He gets mad very very easy and we cant calm him down until hes finished breaking everything in our house or until he gets what he wants. Im not perfect myself. I cuss alot and dont help out around the house really. I try to be nice to my brother but when I try he come back with angry or just be weird. I can explain if you reply back. I go to highschool and i have all passing grades and a great life, but its hard when your parents understand you but dont understand you. I need them to realize that they need to take more responsiblity in there kids. Me and my brother. If you could give me some adive to figure out how i can set my family into order that would be amazing. My brother he hits, kicks, breaks abjects in our house. For example our back window knocked out or holes in the walls. I cuss at him and call him names, and im sorry for that. I get angry for what he does. Last night my girlfriend was leaving for mexico and i wanted to video chat with her for 5mins. I go out in the family room where he was and i asked him if i can use the camera he said okay, then right as i grabed the camera he chase me into my room then taking it back so i couldnt see her before she left for a whole week. But the thing was he didnt even use it after he took it back like he said. So he started swinging it around and hitting me with it. I just wanted to see my girlfriend for 5mins but instead i got hurt and heartbroke for not being able to see her :(. So like i said if you could contact me at my email XLEK@live.com I would be soo nice of you. Because I live with this everyday and I dont want to live like this. I want a well disciplined family. There is soo much more I want to tell you but its private. So is you could contact me, that would be amazing. Thanks soo much!

Hi. My daughter Sophia is 2 years old. She is unable to fall asleep on her own. She must lay on my lap and she needs a bottle of milk to help her fall asleep. Once she falls asleep I lay her in her bed. Sometime throughout the night she wakes up and I bring her into my bed. She will not go back into her own bed. So, I am in deseprate need of getting her out of these really bad habits! Also, she drinks another bottle after she wakes up and is placed in my bed. So, I need advice on getting her off the bottle all together, I want her to fall asleep on her own and remain in her own bed! She wakes up every night...I have not had a good nights sleep in over two years! Help!

Hello. My name is Julie. I have a nephew that will be two 25Th of this month. He is a great kid, but he has a bad behavior. He has been kicked out of daycare for 3 days. His mom and dad has to pick him up early when he doesn't behave in daycare. He is a biter, he slaps the teacher and doesn't like to lesson to anyone. If anyone could help us try to control his behavior. He has one more chance, then he will be kicked out of daycare completely. Julie-

I have two daughters. They are 12 and 9. As they grow older I can see the changes that are overtaking my respectable children. There is more back talk, arguing, and times they just don't listen. I enjoy watching your show and visiting your website to get ideas or information. At times it is good see children behaving worse than mine.

My son is 2 almost 3 years old. I just enrolled him in preschool starting Aug 24th and its only been a month and there are already problems. The teachers and I dont really know what to do with the hitting situation that is going on at school. The first weeks of school my son was doing great and these last 2 weeks of school he has been hitting more and more and also started pulling hair and poking eyes. He is put in timeouts but when he is finished he will go back to picking on whatever child he was picking on. He seems to really enjoy school and i am afraid that if this doesnt get resolved he will get kicked out. Any advice? My husband and are a very strict with both of our kids so when we are at home we deal with the situation by sitting him in his room and close his door and when he finishes he will come out and tell us he is done.

Hey there! I just started this website tonight and I like it already. I am having a hard time getting control of my 2 year old son. I heard 2's were terrible but I don't know that the word is strong enough for how I feel right now. Now for the most part my child is good, I mean he doesn't go around destroying everything in sight. I just have trouble disciplining him. My husband and my mother can just look at him and say no, and he stops! I am the one he doesn't seem to respect. But I am not a mom that doesn't discipline, infact I feel as if that is all I do all day when I am at home with him. I work 3 days a week and on my days off I keep him home with me, but sometimes I take him to daycare just to get some peace. As long as things are going his way, he's fine. But he starts hitting me, yelling no to me, and talking back. He already talks back! That just amazes me. I don't want him afraid of me, but I want him to respect me. I want him to know when I say no that's it. I try to get on to him by sending him to time out and telling him "It's not okay to hit mommy. And it's not okay to talk mean to mommy." He hates the time out chair, but the discipline doesn't last long. He's back to talking back to me or hitting me in a few minutes or so. I just need some more advice on what to do. I have the book Nanny 911 with Jo Frost and it's great, but I just don't seem to be doing something right. Any advice is welcomed!!!!Especially since I have another child on the way in February and want to get this under control before then.
