[QUOTE="keista, post: 438059, member: 11965"] I agree with Ktlc. If you are questioning your methods, then change them up a bit. I am constantly adjusting with all 3 of my kids. I'll be patient to a fault knowing that their "issues" are causing a behavior, but then it seems that I'm being WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYY too indulgent, because sometimes it's not the issue, so I pull back the reigns, and they come back into line. However, with a 4y/o its is VERY difficult to judge what part is 'normal' and what part is the 'issue'. It is definitely worth a try to change things up, but like Ktlc said you need to feel comfortable with it since it's not your natural technique. You might want to make a change with just one behavior or one aspect. For me it would be the disrespectful language. He's allowed to get angry, and he's allowed to express it, but he is NOT allowed to use disrespectful language. If he does, he will have some sort of consequence. (even a useless one like a "time out") [/QUOTE]
