[QUOTE="Malika, post: 440283, member: 11227"] Hi lovelyboy. Suffice it to say that I recognise all of this... My son IS four but I have to say I find it just as embarrassing as if he were older, and people watching are just as disapproving/nonplussed... How to handle it? I just get cross and really tell him off. However much my son may have "ODD", I still feel I can never accept being talked to this way - or other people being talked to this way - as "acceptable". It isn't. And sometimes when I get cross he stops. Does this ever have an effect with your boy? I get what you say about him screaming and shouting if you walk away. Ultimately, though, will he behave like the 4 year old and eventually follow on, like it or not, because otherwise he knows he will be stranded? Sounds like you handled it well by talking to him softly, and he responded by calming down (somewhat). Do you talk about it afterwards? How do you plan together for this not to happen again? I guess one has to have some sort of strategy in place... is it like the four year old that you need to give a continuous series of countdown warnings before announcing any departure or transition? I hope others will post more advice. Hugs. It ain't easy. [/QUOTE]
